The 2024 Christmas Social Supermarket

In December, our Social Supermarket will be operating at full capacity, navigating new processes at our new site. The Social Supermarket is offering special Christmas shops to whānau across the community.

Available via referral or application, our Christmas Shops allow shoppers to choose the grocery items they need in order to create a delicious Christmas Day meal.

Upon arrival at the Social Supermarket, shoppers will be welcomed by a special Christmas display featuring 0-point groceries and treats, thanks to Foodstuffs, who are supporting us with products and festive decorations.

How do i arrange a Christmas Shop at The Social Supermarket?

We ask that all applicants visit reception at Whakamaru in order to request and fill out a form.

Whakamaru is located at 4 Oxford Terrace, Mount Cook, 6021, Wellington.

Due to the volume of requests, we cannot guarantee that appointments will be scheduled for the same day. You may be asked to return at a later time for your appointment. We understand how frustrating this may be, but we have added later appointment times and Saturday appointments to try and accommodate as best we can.

If you are unable to come into Whakamaru to complete your form, we can provide information about other organisations that may be able to support you.
