Second Chances - Preloved Clothing Sale!

Rebecca Bangma from The House of Grace Trust - Hamilton

The House of Grace is a home. Volunteer 'House Parent's, and their children, live at the house, and provide the loving and stable family home that many young girls and their babies so desperately need. It's a place where the girls learn what a healthy family unit looks like, where they are encouraged to return to their own education and make plans for theirs and baby's futures, and it's a place where love, grace and learning abound. As a non-profit and non–government funded organisation, we rely on the support from people who share our heart to see young lives changed.

We are running a fundraiser and we need your help to make it a success!  We need donations of good quality women's and children's clothing. Accepting all sizes, all seasons and accessories. 

Check out the various drop off locations around Hamilton below. 

If you're able to volunteer on the day, in the lead up to the day, or have a question, please get in contact with Michelle via email Michelle@thog.org.nz.

With your support we can provide a positive start in life for a new generation of families and help young Mum's plan for a brighter future.

Poll: Do you think workers are taking up too many CBD parks?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Central city businesses are losing shoppers because workers fill up all the car parks, a Hamilton retailer says.

The “P” word came up when Hamilton City Council met with members of the Hamilton Central Business Association last week - and a councillor told retailers worried about parking changes to make themselves more attractive to customers.

Do you agree with retailer Barry Radford of Hanrad Bespoke Rugs, who says more parking buildings for workers are needed?
