Continue the tradition online

Each Christmas, Adventist churches across New Zealand set up ADRA Christmas Trees which enable their members to purchase charity gifts for their loved ones while also giving life-changing gifts to people in need.

Due to COVID-19, many gatherings are continuing online, so we’ve set up a virtual ADRA Christmas Tree to enable those wanting to participate to give their life-changing gifts via this website.

Gifts chosen in consultation with communities

The ADRA Christmas Tree features gifts that have been carefully chosen in consultation with people and communities in need. When you purchase a gift, you make a tax-deductible donation to ADRA New Zealand’s projects through which these gifts can be granted.

You can participate individually, or as a church

When the giver chooses the congregation to which they belong, their gifts will automatically be combined with gifts from others in their congregation and will be displayed on the church leaderboard.

Send a message of love to a loved one

Once a gift is purchased, you can choose to send a message to your loved one letting them know that you have purchased a gift on their behalf. A link to that gift will be provided enabling them to see the gift bauble that you have purchased and read about the impact that it will have for people in need.
