Charity Garage Sale

Rory from Ngongotaha

Age Concern are lucky to be the recipients of the up-coming Charity Garage Sale hosted by Ray White Real Estate and held at the Ngongotaha Railway Park on Saturday 1st May from 8:00 am. Since the original Charity Garage Sale before Level 4 Lockdown most Charities have made good money and over $30,000 has been raised. A huge thanks must go out to Tim O'Sullivan and his team, not only for their generous support of Charities but also the time and effort put into each event. If you would like to donate something big or small please just drop it off at 5 Tarewa Place or phone 07 347 1539 to have it picked up.

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
