What happened to the Bald Angels Kai Boxes?
22 January 2021
We were simply stunned by the generosity and aroha shown in the comments and the dollars donated, and YOU made a massive impact by caring!
We packed 2400 boxes and distributed them to 400 whanau.
Each whanau received:
1 box meat & fresh veges
1 box hygiene/cleaning
3 boxes pantry groceries
1 bag potatoes -1 bag x rice
PLUS
1 x box gifts individually chosen and wrapped for 1457 children/youth.
Our partners (Police, social workers, public health nurses, teachers, Women's Refuge, Plunket, church groups ) distributed the goodies to whanau in need across the Far North.
They were so grateful and happy to be able to help these families. They reported tears, awe, gratitude and relief from the recipients.
We know the impact goes far beyond the immediate 2000 family members having kai and children receiving gifts at Christmas. We know it goes beyond the warmth of knowing that others (you) care, and that the agencies who delivered cared enough to do that for them.
The impact that cannot be measured is the mental health, the reduced crime, the safer homes, and ....the aroha and joy of making a trifle for your whanau....
Thankyou for helping us make a difference for our people last Christmas. YOU changed a life.
