Te Roopu Oranga O Highbury Charitable Trust

Kia ora,

We are a free charitable non-for-profit service and hub based in Highbury Palmerston North. Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of the Highbury community and surrounding suburbs, by providing a free service to whānau. This includes free food, clothing, kitchenware, linen, toys, homeware and more! We help anyone and everyone, with no criteria or questions asked. Te Whare Koha is a safe space for whānau to come to with no judgement. We see at least 50 whānau per day, and with the rise in cost of living, we will continue to see more and more whānau. With your koha and contribution to this much needed service, we can continue to keep our free store operating to serve our whānau in need.

We receive donations from the community, everything donated to us is given out to the community free with no questions asked. We rescue school lunches from a local school, receive kai from Just Zilch and have a free maara kai that whānau can help themselves to.

Our organization relies heavily on volunteers who run our free services 5 days per week Monday-Friday 9am-12pm. We are located at 42 Pembroke Street Palmerston North.
