Reaching Out
Reaching Out has been operating for over 4 years going into 5 years this year. Reaching out started out by a family of four who also didn't have much themselves but in their own journey wanted to help those going through similar situation.
in the last four years we have helped families who were about to be homeless because of the state of their home, we then were called to come in and help clean up the property and provide the family with food and clothing parcels, which we called serve a family.
we have been running feeding the community, which we cook meals, provide cold & hot drinks, collect clothes, shoes any reusable items and give them out on the days we do our feeding the community running once a month.
Blanket run is another we run during winter, we will send out notifications to the community for blankets and warm clothing and we then give it out to on our blanket run in Auckland CBD.
Street clean up, we net work with other amazing community group and we aim to bring our community back to look after our community by cleaning our streets.
-Xmas Gifts for children.
-food parcel runs
we need running costs for our vehicle when we pick up good for families need furniture, we need petrol. it may have started of been funded by my husbands income but the need has become even bigger that we need to start applying for funding.
we have seen a lot of good changes since starting Reaching Out and we want to keep going.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

welcome (& help) new neighbour
kia ora lovely neighbours
as some of you know, I love the marketplace on here - (you know people are LOCAL, easy to collect) - and meet such lovely neighbours in the process.
I did not click on the 'ad' for "free house hold stuff" - as I though were GIVING away stuff - and little I need right now.
oh when I did - a very easy mistake to make - ASKING for - not giving away
Amanda & her 2 sons (12 & 16) have just moved here, out west, from Wellington - and looking for a helping hand
so generous neighbours - is there anything surplus to your requirement that you can help Amanda with?
"Hi me an my two sons have just relocated to Glen Eden from Wellington an are looking for few things for our house kitchen table an chairs pots an pans an draws cabinets etc thank you"
"16 and 12 and we are needing dinning table and chairs vacuum kitchen stuff and draws for boys rooms"
I think I have a spare large frying pan - but can't help with the rest....
if you can't help, all good - just if you don't ask, you don't get - (so see Amanda's ad - in Marketplace - under "free house hold stuff" - for her contact info)
peace & love - arohanui
