What's on at our Strathmore Centres
Kia ora!
A huge thank you to the ‘Strathmore Bakery’ for the free bakery that we have been gratefully receiving for years! Every week is different but amongst the lovely mix of goodies we recieve pies, cakes, sandwhiches and cream donuts to share amongst our drop in whanau.
Tuesday bakery allocation will now go to Raukawa. Our Raukawa user numbers have been steadily increasing as people get to know the centre, the lovely Ava and the great services that are offered there.
108 Strathmore Ave will still continue as normal in receiving bakery on Fridays.
Join us for a cuppa and treat each week, at your choice of centre!

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

53.4% Yes!

44% Nah, it's okay
