Visitors to the Museum of Transport and Technology in December have the option of donating a Christmas present from MOTAT’s gift shop to someone less fortunate, instead of paying the normal admission fee.

Thanks to MOTAT visitors, a special shipment of donated Christmas presents will be delivered to Kiwi families through New Zealand charities, Barnardos and the Auckland City Mission. The charities are well known for their outstanding family support and this initiative will ensure that many more Kiwi families have gifts to give to their loved ones this Christmas.
