Donate Goods

We rely on the generosity of our community to help keep our pantries stocked, our communal kitchens running smoothly, and to provide a little extra support for families when they need it most.

Rānui is just like your home – only bigger. Much bigger.
With two large communal areas, fully equipped kitchens, lounges, dining rooms and 80 apartments,

there is always a need to keep our cupboards full and our spaces well supplied.

Equipment for our Kitchen

Gift cards from grocery stores, local attractions, cinemas, and petrol stations are especially helpful. These allow us to support families who may need a pick‑me‑up or a bit of extra help when times are tough.

Rānui often hosts special celebrations too – birthdays, special milestones and moments that matter.

We warmly welcome small gifts for mums, dads, teens and children. Thoughtful items like chocolates, board games, puzzles, or anything that might brighten someone’s day are always gratefully received.
