Thank you

Thanks to your care and support, 69 grants have been given to charities and agencies throughout greater Auckland to help families, people and communities in need. This need intensified with COVID-19. To respond quickly to this increase in support, the Caring Foundation brought forward the payment of grants by over two months. We wanted to better support our agencies during challenging and uncertain times. Thank you for making this happen. It’s because of you that we could help our families. Our grateful thanks also to the Tindall Foundation and the Holzer Family Trust for their financial assistance. 

Check out the 69 organisations your gift supported this year.

You supported a food project in South Hokianga

A request for help for families experiencing hardship through COVID-19 from the parish priest of Okaihau, Fr Richard Cortes resulted in a community-led food project for families in south Hokianga. Thanks to a team of wonderful volunteers, and a grant from the Caring Foundation, over 60 food parcels were distributed to families in the Whirinaki Valley, Pakanae and Waiwhatawhata. Volunteers bagged and packed the food parcels and then distributed them to the families. We are so grateful to all the volunteers and parishioners who got this project off the ground. Another community project that you helped fund.
