Our annual Christmas Aroha Basket drive is back for 2024.
With support from our generous community, each year we are able to gift over 100 Christmas aroha baskets to Mangawhai locals requiring support during the festive season.
Each Christmas aroha basket contains a variety of festive foods, Christmas dinner and gifts for children to open on Christmas Day. Recipients are always thankful for the love and care they receive from this initiative.
If you’re able to donate to this year's Christmas aroha basket drive, please drop your non-perishable festive food items and new unwrapped gifts for children (newborn - 18yrs) to one of the collection points listed below by Monday 16th December.
Financial donations for the purchasing of food and gifts can also be made. Please donate here.
There’s no doubt that 2024 has also been a struggle for many small businesses so please consider supporting Mangawhai business owners by purchasing gifts and foods locally to spread the Christmas cheer.
A huge thank you to our collection points, amazing community members for your donations so far, our volunteers and staff. This initiative would not be possible without your support.
