DCM Bookfair 2014 - Poster

The great thing about shop­ping at DCM Book­fair is that you shop, you spend money and ALL that money go dir­ectly into help the most vul­ner­able people in out City.

Each week DCM works with some 150 people, sup­port­ing them to make dra­mat­ic changes in their lives. Most of these meet the New Zea­l­and defin­i­tion of home­less­ness or are at risk of home­less­ness, so DCM works with them to find hous­ing, access their cor­rect bene­fit enti­tle­ments, man­age their money, and con­nect with fam­ily and a range of
health and oth­er ser­vices.

So when you buy a book, or in my case many books you are mak­ing a dif­fer­ence in the world, mak­ing our city a bet­ter place. When you buy some­thing at DCM Book­fair you are help­ing them reach their longterm goal in end­ing home­less­ness in our city.

Not into books and things? Well you can still sup­port DCM, either by donat­ing to the food bank, or maybe think about mak­ing a cash dona­tion. You can do so online at givealittle.
