Blankets & Pyjamas
Bringing Warmth to Families Across New Zealand
Every winter, City Impact Church provides blankets and warm pyjamas to individuals and families who need a little extra support through the colder months.
Through the generosity of our church, thousands of people have received practical help, warmth and care through our annual Blankets and Pyjamas initiative.

More than a blanket
Blankets and Pyjamas is about meeting a practical need while making sure people feel loved, supported and cared for.
Through the generosity of our church, thousands of blankets and pyjamas are distributed to families across our communities each winter.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Blankets and Pyjamas is one part of City Impact Church’s wider Community Impact initiatives, providing practical support to individuals and families throughout the year.

Roughly 1 in 7 children in New Zealand are living in poverty.
The Church can make a difference.

Your Giving Makes a Real Difference
Like last year, we’ve thoughtfully designed and created our own City Impact Church blankets and pyjamas, allowing us to provide high-quality, practical items that families will truly value.
Every donation goes directly towards providing these essentials to families in our communities at our Community Impact Day on Saturday 6 June.
- $20 provides warm pyjamas
- $25 provides a blanket
- Or you can give a donation of your choice
Every contribution helps bring warmth and comfort to families who need it most.

We’re aiming to support 6,000 people before winter fully sets in.
