A Community Morning Tea
Join Our Village and the Rodney Community Team for a relaxed morning tea designed to support our local whānau as we prepare for the next school term. This event is a space for connection, where parents can enjoy hot drinks and kai while accessing or donating essential school uniforms.
- Date: Thursday, 16 July
- Time: 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Location: St Matthews Church Lounge, 60 Garfield Rd, Helensville
- Parking: Available to the side and rear of the church.
Pick-up: Local pre-loved school uniforms (including Kaipara College, Helensville Primary, and Parakai School) are available for a koha or are free for those in need.
Donate: Bring your unwanted, clean school uniform items to help fill the racks for other families.
Engage: While you browse the racks, children can enjoy provided activities. We invite you to share your thoughts on “Why our community matters to me” on our Community Conversations Wall!
