The stars, purchasable via donation to The Mission, will light up the Wellington waterfront this Christmas
The Wellington City Mission has launched Stars on the Waterfront, an annual Christmas initiative set up to provide support to families across Wellington.
The waterfront by Te Papa already showcases an array of names, businesses and community groups who have purchased stars and donated to The Mission’s Christmas appeal.
Anyone can buy a star, with the option to include their name, their business name, an image or a heartfelt message, to illuminate the Wellington waterfront this Christmas.
Every purchased star funds The Mission’s work to ensure struggling families can enjoy a dignified and joyful Christmas.
Laying the first star of the day, Wellington City Missioner Murray Edridge encouraged Wellingtonians to consider how they can support others this Christmas: “As you think about your Christmas 2024, think about those who are struggling, think about those who wont have the joy at Christmas that you might have. Help us to help others by supporting the work of The Mission.”
The stars will remain on the Wellington waterfront until January 5th.
Various stars are available at different prices, with all information detailed here: https://shareyourchristmas.wellingtoncitymission.org.nz/stars-on-the-waterfront/
