As winter settles in, many families face impossible choices – keeping warm or putting food on the table, providing basic necessities or simply making it through another day. No one should have to choose between comfort and survival.
That’s why the Whakamahana to Kāinga – Winter Appeal is more than just a collection drive – it’s about love, dignity, and reminding every whānau that they are not alone.
How You Can Help
There are three simple ways to make a meaningful impact:
- Donate Financially – Every dollar helps ATWC purchase the specific items families need.
- Donate Goods – Blankets, knitted/woollen clothing, and winter essentials can be dropped off at their collection points. If you want to arrange a bulk collection, ATWC can help.
- Spread the Word – Share this campaign with your parish, workplace, and community network. Your voice can inspire others to give.
Call to Action: Be the Warmth Someone Needs
Small acts of kindness create ripples that reach further than we can imagine. This diocese is filled with hearts ready to serve – let’s stand together and remind every whānau that they are seen, cared for, and loved.
