Kia ora team!
If you wanted to help out with Shoebox Christmas in Wellington but couldn’t find a location you could get to during weekends or outside school hours, you can now drop off in Tawa for the below 12 schools/services :)
These are the tamariki in Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai (Lower Hutt) which we still need to find gifters to match with tamariki.
If you can get to Tawa, and would like to help make Christmas special for a local child, please join on of these projects, you’ll see the Tawa drop-off address after you join :)

Myself, Arita, and some of our awesome mates will then get the gifts out to our tamariki on your behalf.
We’ve moved away from having drop-off locations like this in the past because managing the logistics becomes a full time job, and like Trevor Moeke said, 1% of all of us is better than 100% of one of us. But this year we’ve had many more whānau reaching out for support, and a of gifters from previous years no longer able to help out due to their own situations changing. So we’re doing this to ensure our tamariki in Lower Hutt don’t miss out.
Talk soon,
Pera
Thank you for offering alternative drop off site.
I wasn’t able to get to Lower Hutt during school hours so having the opportunity to drop off in Tawa is much easier
