Christchurch mission increasing the giving this Christmas

Pavlovas, jelly and pies are among some of the Christmas treats sweetening the festive season for struggling Cantabrians. Christchurch City Mission would give out close to 2000 food boxes this week, 500 more than last year. Pandemic fall-out, high fuel and food prices were creating a financial storm but the charity was determined to try keep the clouds clear of Christmas. Niva Chittock reports.
