How you can help us

Before you read the needs list, please read this instructive post about the standards we expect from our donations.

This is what we need right now!

Winter Jackets

Hoodies/Jumpers

Track pants.

Would love if we could get some XXL +, as some of the whanau women and children would really appreciate the bigger sizes to accommodate their needs.

Socks

Undies all sizes, and once again, sizes ranging up to 24+ if possible.

Towels, we only have a few left.

These are things that we need all the time:

  • Towels

  • Undies (new)

  • Bed linen

  • Socks (new)

  • Sanitary products

  • Toiletries

The whole idea of the Aunties is that our people get the best we can get them, and we intend to keep it that way.

Designer clothes

If you have designer clothes that need a home, we have The Aunties Shop.  These clothes not only go on sale, but are also for the whānau women. They have made a lot of women very, very happy. Lara has put in place a very simple and direct way of buying these items as cheap as chips. 

Please always bear in mind that, in any given year,  we service and care for a lot of people, most of whom are dealing with the fall out of family/ intimate partner violence. Their needs are many, and our aim is to provide them with as many of those needs as is practicable. We keep up with most needs but we always need more. And our kaupapa is around people finding their light, and standing in their power. If you don’t give with love, then please give to another charity, and not to us. This is the way this has to be. Power and light are not found in donations that are tatty and smelly…..
