Holy heck!!! 😲
Look at this pile of parcels that are all ready to go to their tamariki!! Our incredible volunteers braved the weather this morning and got another 19 parcels packed!!!!! Now that's dedication!
💕💕💕
And thank you to the community for the donations we've been receiving. We're always running low on different ages so please keep the donations coming! 🥰

✨ Whānau Helping Whānau ✨
Are you a mum or caregiver with a bit of time to spare and a heart for helping others? We’d love to have you on our volunteer team! 💛
We know how tricky it can be to juggle little ones and life, so we’ve created a space that’s welcoming to both you and your little ones who are content to play while you help. We’ve got toys to keep them busy, and you’ll be surrounded by other supportive, like-minded whānau doing something meaningful for our community.
Come lend a hand, have a cuppa, and help us make a difference—one parcel at a time. 💪👶👕
Send us a message if you're keen to pop in and see what it’s all about!

🧸💛 What We Accept 💛🧸
Helping whānau starts with your generous donations! Here's what we can use:
👕 Clothing (newborn–age 16) – clean + in good gifting condition
🛏️ Baby towels, wraps, blankets
🍼 Bibs, nappies (sealed), wipes
🧦 PJ’s, sleeping bags (baby/toddler)
✨ If you wouldn’t give it to a friend, we probably can’t gift it either.

💛 1 in 8 tamariki in Aotearoa are going without the basics.
Warm clothes. A proper bed. Healthy kai. The essentials.
➡️ 13.4% of children in NZ are living in material hardship — that’s over 150,000 kids going without things most of us take for granted.
➡️ 12.7% live in homes earning less than half the median income.
But here’s where the hope comes in...
Every donation. Every volunteer. Every parcel.
✨ It all matters.
We’ve seen how a bundle of clean clothes and a kind note can bring real relief to a whānau doing it tough.
Together, we’re building something beautiful
📦💛 Thanks for walking alongside us.

What a holiday haul! 🎒👕🧦
Our incredible volunteers have been hard at work sorting through the mountain of generous donations we received over the school holidays — and we had a great time doing it!
Thanks to the kindness of our community, we were able to put together 12 full clothing parcels that are now on their way to some very grateful families. 💛
A massive thank you to everyone who donated, and to our awesome team for making it all happen. Teamwork (and a bit of laughter) really does make the dream work!
