Is it okay that 30% of families won’t be warm enough this winter? Join Community Link's Cold Kids Fundraising Campaign At Community Link, we believe staying warm during the winter months is vital for the health and well-being of our community. This winter, we're launching the Cold Kids Fundraising Campaign to purchase firewood and provide heating support to local families who are struggling. Can you be part of the solution? For many, the choice between staying warm or putting food on the table is an impossible one. In Wanaka, where living costs are high and wages are often lower than the national average, many families don’t have a financial cushion. Nearly one in three families have no buffer to handle unexpected events like losing an income, or facing emergency medical
costs, according to QLDC’s Quality of Life survey. As the weather cools and the inversion layer arrives, these challenges become even harder to manage. The Cold Kids Campaign directly addresses this issue by providing essential firewood and heating assistance. In 2024, we saw a 30% increase in demand for our services, and with rising costs, we expect the required funding to reach $60,000 this year.
