Buy a bauble, remember a loved one, support Hospice Wairarapa.
Our annual Farmers Christmas campaign is now underway at Farmers Masterton, and we'd love you to be part of it.
This year's limited-edition Hospice Christmas bauble features a green fern with a glittering gold stem, giving it a distinctly Kiwi Christmas feel. Each bauble costs $15.99, and thanks to Farmers' generosity, Farmers Masterton donates the full purchase price of every bauble sold to Hospice Wairarapa.
Remember someone special
While you're in store, you can also visit the Tree of Remembrance. Visit one of the in-store counters to make a donation, write a message to a loved one who is no longer with you on a remembrance card and hang it on the tree.
Our team joined Farmers Masterton staff to launch the campaign on 12 November, with our spiritual carer, Sharon Penny, blessing the Tree of Remembrance.
"The annual Farmers Christmas fundraiser is a significant fundraiser for Hospice Wairarapa. Not only does it help raise the funds that keep our services free for everyone who needs them, but the Tree of Remembrance also creates an opportunity for our community to acknowledge those important in their lives who are no longer with us."
Gretchen Saulbrey, Chief Executive, Hospice Wairarapa
Every dollar stays in the Wairarapa
Hospice Wairarapa provides free, wrap-around care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their whānau across the region. Government funding doesn't cover the full cost of this care, so we rely on fundraising, donations and the generosity of our community to bridge the gap.
Every bauble bought and every donation made at Farmers Masterton goes directly to Hospice Wairarapa, helping ensure no one in our region faces a terminal illness alone. Nationwide, Farmers stores and hospices are aiming to raise $1 million this Christmas.
A huge thank you to the Farmers Masterton team for their support during such a busy time of year.
Don't miss out
The limited-edition baubles sell out every year, so pop into Farmers Masterton early to get yours. The Tree of Remembrance will be in store until Christmas Eve.
