How can you help?
Volunteer
The roles are many and varied. From sorting donated goods, gardening, setting up units to welcome a new family, working alongside our teachers with the preschoolers and babies at Playgroup (ECE) or tutors at the Community Learning Centre, to assisting with marketing and fundraising events.
You may have a specific skill that you can utilise at De Paul House.
Donations
Be it a one-off donation or a regular contribution, your support allows us to continue providing a welcoming, safe haven for families and senior citizens facing a housing crisis.
Events & Fundraisers
Host your own bake sale, or support our next fundraiser event. We often host an annual event to raise funds, meet our community of support and be inspired by other New Zealanders making a change in Aotearoa. Every dollar helps us to offer our services to as many whānau and children possible.
Donated Goods/Gifts
We accept new and second-hand donations of practical items you would offer your own friends and family useful for setting up a new home.
Good quality and clean clothing, linen/bedding, household items such as kitchen appliances and whiteware, including furniture. For furniture collections, please email us with photos.
We do not accept broken, stained, or damaged goods, electric blankets, mattresses 6+ years or whiteware 10+ years.
We also accept food donations of fresh, frozen and pantry items.
Bequests
Leaving a gift in your Will to De Paul House will assist us to support and transform the lives of families and senior citizens struggling with housing and hardship.
