Did you know...

Over half of all families in NZ experience income poverty for at least a year after a child is born

Last year, Salvation Army social workers provided support to more than 5,700 people

1 in 10 children live in material hardship, meaning they are forced to go without seven or more items considered necessary for their well-being

Last year, The Salvation Army delivered over 15,000 budgeting sessions to families in need

4 in 5 households say that a lack of money defined how often they ate and how healthy the food was
