Help us keep our free Community Days running, providing hot meals, warm clothing, essentials, and hope for those experiencing hardship.

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table, keeping warm, or asking for help.

Every Saturday, Cornerstone Charitable Trust opens its doors to individuals and families across our community who are doing it tough. Whether someone is experiencing financial hardship, homelessness, loneliness, or simply needs a helping hand, they are welcomed with dignity, compassion, and practical support.

Our Community Days provide free hot meals, barista coffee, quality clothing, shoes, blankets, food, and other essential items—all at no cost to those who need them. More importantly, they provide connection, hope, and the reminder that someone cares.

Everything we offer is made possible through the generosity of volunteers, local businesses, and people like you.

Your donation helps us purchase food and essential supplies, provide warm drinks and meals, cover the costs of running each Community Day, and ensure we can continue opening our doors every Saturday.

Whether you give $10 or $1,000, every contribution makes a real difference. Together, we can ensure that every person who walks through our doors leaves with practical support, renewed hope, and the knowledge that they are valued.

Thank you for helping us keep our Saturday Community Days free for everyone who needs them.
