Donate to Octacan online and the foodbank will purchase cans on your behalf.
Shop to donate food items like spaghetti, baked beans, tinned fruit or fish, or choose a single, double, or family food parcel.
Our Familyworks team provides tailored support, often starting with food parcels and moving to social work, financial mentoring, and winter essentials.
The current economic climate means that more families and individuals are coming to Presbyterian Support Otago for help.
