A big thank you to a generous community member from Māngere Bridge, who donated the first lot of brand-new blankets as part of our Winter Appeal.

As the colder months set in, these blankets will help bring warmth and comfort to the families we support at Monte Cecilia. This thoughtful donation is a wonderful reminder of the care and generosity that exists within our community.

Thank you for helping us keep our families warm this winter.

We are incredibly grateful for the warmth and care that goes into these handmade donations, which will help support our whānau over the colder months. Thank you for your ongoing support of our community.
