Donating to PSO is giving us the means to provide essential community services to vulnerable people, and often the need is heightened at this time of the year as we approach Christmas.

We work to support local people in Otago with emergency food parcels, help people take control of their debt through financial mentoring, support whānau and tamariki through parenting programmes and social work support. We work across agencies to help find the best outcomes for difficult issues like family harm, and advocate for those unable to do so for themselves.

The donations we receive are only used for services in Otago, they are not sent to other regions.

Whatever you can give will help make a difference.

Thank you!
