At Whare Āwhina, we are always reminded of the incredible strength of our community, and once again, that strength has shown up in the most generous way.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the teams and shoppers at New World Regent and New World Onerahi for supporting our Whare Āwhina Social Supermarket during the recent New World Family2Family Foodbank Appeal. 🛒

Because of your kindness and willingness to give, our shelves continue to be stocked and ready to support whānau who need a little extra help right now.  These contributions go far beyond groceries, they bring dignity, relief, and hope to the whānau we serve every day.

Special Acknowledgement

We would also like to extend a very special thank you to Eric Rush for his ongoing support and dedication to our kaupapa.  Eric, your commitment to uplifting our community and supporting our mahi does not go unnoticed. Your generosity and advocacy continue to make a real and lasting impact. We are incredibly grateful.

Stronger Together

This is what community looks like people coming together to support one another in meaningful ways. Through initiatives like the Family2Family Appeal, we are reminded that even small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of positive change.

To our local New World stores, and to every single person who donated, ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Thank you for standing with us and helping care for our community.

Together, we are building something truly special.
