Our partners
Over the last two years, we began supporting other community organisations in their initiatives by sending clothing where required. No one provides full support; usually, there is a focus, whether it be mental health, meals, emergency accommodation or social support services. Because when more of us come together, we can provide more care.
Our vision is to find like-minded partners throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand and to expand our current services to more neighbourhoods and regions. By working with families, we are reaching children, working to reduce the disadvantage at disproportionate levels that is the silent undercurrent of child poverty.
Working with more families, we are working with communities as they change the future for the next generation.
