Struggling Invercargill families could be given some help this festive season through a sponsorship programme run by the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army Invercargill Community Ministries has introduced its Adopt-A-Family programme, which gives businesses and individuals a chance to sponsor a family over Christmas by providing them with a hamper filled with food and treats.
Sponsors could also include gifts, especially for children, and treats such as chips, fruit and nuts.
