Helping out in our own backyard
We've been operating volunteer-run opshops around New Zealand since 2005 which provide very low cost clothing, household goods and food hampers to assist New Zealanders in need.
We are also proud to be assisting the New Zealand Red Cross to welcome former refugees to New Zealand. We understand so well what a life-changing experience it is to settle into a new home with a totally new future, especially for children. We are so pleased to be able to reach out a helping hand and salute their bravery. We will not only be assisting with basic household necessities but with opportunities for engagement and friendship.
