Winter Boxes Rolling Out Again!

It’s that time of the year again—Te Hono o Ngā Waka is proud to be sending out our Winter Boxes to whānau across Te Tai o Poutini.

As the colder months settle in, we know just how important it is to keep our homes warm and our hearts full. These Winter Boxes are more than just seasonal supplies—they’re a reminder that no one stands alone. Each box has been thoughtfully packed with warmth, care, and aroha to support our whānau through the chill of takurua.

From essential winter items to comfort treats, our goal is to ease some of the pressure many face during this time of year. We’ve seen firsthand how impactful a small gesture can be—especially for those who are isolated, vulnerable, or facing tough times.

We also want to remind whānau that if your whare is cold, damp, or in need of support, we can help. If you would like a Healthy Homes Assessment, please get in touch with us. We can walk alongside you to find practical solutions to make your home warmer, drier, and healthier for you and your tamariki.

A huge mihi to our team, volunteers, and supporters who make this kaupapa possible. Your mahi ensures these boxes get to the right hands at the right time, lifting spirits and bringing practical relief to the homes of our whānau.

He iti te koha, nā te ngākau nui—
A small gift, from a big heart.
