We Care Kiwi

Carers NZ and IHC have launched wecare.kiwi to make it easy to care for and about each other. If you're on your own during the lockdown, or caring for a vulnerable person, you may need support. 

Student Volunteer Army Grocery Delivery Service

Do you need additional help with grocery delivery? The SVA Grocery Delivery Service (in partnership with New World), enables people who can't get to the supermarket to get groceries.

You can order online or via 0800 005 902 using a debit or credit card. A screened and vetted volunteer collects the items from the supermarket and delivers them to the door. SVA then charges the pre-authorised credit card with the exact amount spent at the supermarket following delivery. There is a $6 delivery fee. 

Head to www.shop.sva.org.nz to shop, call them on 0800 005 902 or email to shop@sva.org.nz
