The Secret Santa Project

Richard Parfitt from Whakatāne District Council

The Recovery Office has launched The Secret Santa Project, with the aim of ensuring floodimpacted children throughout the District have an extra little something in their Christmas stocking this year. A number of agencies who have been involved in recovery services are getting on board… and we’re sure the wider community will want to contribute too. Christmas trees are up at Te Tari Āwhina – Community Hub at Edgecumbe Library and in the Customer Services area at the Whakatāne District Council as drop-off points for gifts for children aged 0 – 13.

Alternatively, businesses might like to have an office whip-around and provide cash to buy gifts where we see a gap in donated presents for a particular age group. Details at
