Donating goods to families/children/teenagers in need

Kat from Westmere

Hi all, We're slowly moving into another property and as we embark on the move (over the next few months) I'm going through everything in the house and finding all manner of things to donate. Most are new clothes (size 14 +/-) and other things like warm scarves etc for winter.

Most are new clothes (size 14 +/-) and other things like warm scarves etc for winter. Does anyone know of any organisation or people connected with them, that will actually gift these items to people in need now...not via the sallies or hospice or anything like that. I have plenty of other things to go there. I'm thinking maybe even children who can't afford clothes/shoes and sanitary products...that kind of organisation. Do any schools have something set up for students in need?

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Auckland Transport suffered a 30 minute train suspension across the network due to a KiwiRail signalling fault yesterday. It was the second time in a week that trains were non-operational, network wide. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said the delays were "not good enough". He asked KiwiRail if its infrastructure was fit for purpose. KiwiRail has promised an independent review into the recent signal faults.
