What Your Support Means to Our Community
DCM is a small charity handling the biggest issues.
For over 55 years, we have stood beside those who have nowhere else to turn. Thank you for choosing to stand with us.
Your support is life-changing because it enables the people we work with to make meaningful change in their lives. However you choose to support, you’re providing a welcoming space for our most vulnerable neighbours, where they can access a range of essential services from emergency food parcels, counselling and harm reduction, healthcare and more. If you are able to, please consider supporting our whānau.
Thank you for helping to build a more compassionate and resilient city where everyone can thrive.

Support our whānau with a Regular Gift
Becoming a Hope Holder (the amazing people who give a regular donation to DCM) is the best way to make sure our neighbours who are rough sleeping, without shelter or at risk of homelessness receive the essential support and services they need. As well as essential, practical support, you’ll offer hope to our community.
You can set this up via automatic payment (using our bank details above) or by debit or credit card. Make sure to select ‘Regular Giving.’
To let us know you have set up a regular donation, or to learn more about becoming a Hope Holder please get in contact by email donate@dcm.org.nz or call 022 479 0409.
