Message from Jo

Welcome to the Winter edition of Presbyterian Support Otago’s People magazine. In this edition we are shining a spotlight on some of our amazing staff – so that you can get to know more about them and their roles. We are incredibly blessed here at PSO with staff who go above and beyond to serve their communities. I think this is one of the things that sets us apart – we have a huge heart for our work, which brings us together in a common purpose. That purpose is to ensure that every person feels valued in a safe and supportive community.

Winter, for some in our communities, is a harsh time – with more of the family budget being spent on heating and clothing, there is less left over to spend on food. That’s why we established Octacan, our major annual winter food drive, to replenish our Family Works Foodbank. I hope that if you live in or near Dunedin you will show your support for this event!

Lastly, I would like to urge you all to take up the offer of a COVID vaccination when it’s your turn, as this will help protect you and our most vulnerable community members from the virus.

Blessings to you all,

Jo Rowe
CEO Presbyterian Support Otago
