'Give a Kid a Blanket'

Nicola Hewitt —

Once again our Kaiārahi is facilitating the Milford School drive to support ‘Give a Kid a Blanket’. For those new to our community ‘Give a Kid a Blanket’ is a community action of kindness where donations of warm bedding and pyjamas are given to families and kids in need from across the wider Auckland area and beyond. Collection Week will be from Tuesday, 7 June to - Tuesday, 17 June 2022. Items can be brought directly to room 18.

During the two collection weeks, we will be accepting: 

  • New and good-quality pre-loved blankets, duvets, bedding, and sleeping bags.
  • Winter bedding, duvet inners, and covers. 
  • Baby sleep sacks
  • New pillows and pillow slips.
  • New hot-water bottles.
  • New and good-condition pyjamas (especially sizes 12 - 16 for teenagers), beanies, socks, jumpers, winter coats and raincoats.

All donations must be bagged or boxed, and preloved donations need to be washed prior to donating them

The Kaiārahi thank you in advance for supporting this wonderful cause.
