Our volunteers come in all shapes, sizes, and life stages. Some have been with us for years. Some joined us just recently. All of them matter. So very much ♥️

To every single person who has ever given their time to Under the Stars:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You are the reason we can do what we do.

A wee while ago, we started cooking freezer meals for the Salvation Army Tauranga- because providing kai is what we do, and we want to increase access to food for those who need it in as many ways as we can!

We expect nothing in return. That's just our kaupapa.

So what a beautiful surprise when Sallies Tga reached out to let us know they had 48 brand new blankets from Briscoes' Buy a Blanket, Give a Blanket initiative and they wanted to share them with our guests! ♥️

The people at Sallies have made this partnership an absolute joy. We have so much aroha and respect for the mahi they do every single day.

Ngā mihi nui ki a kōrua- Salvation Army Tauranga and Briscoes. Our guests are going to be so much warmer because of your generosity.

⛺️ TENT APPEAL ⛺️

Our tent stock is empty and we can't keep up with demand — and for someone sleeping rough in the rain, a tent means staying dry, staying safe, and holding onto a little bit of dignity. 🌧️

If you have a complete tent (2-4 person) you no longer need — especially an easy-to-set-up dome tent — we would be so grateful for the donation.

You can also contribute to our Tent Fund — every bit helps:

🐾Following the situation at Sulphur Point, many of our whānau are genuinely worried about losing their dogs. For people doing it tough, their dog is often so much more than a pet — they're companionship, comfort, and protection all in one.

Registering dogs isn't something we're able to do ourselves — but we didn't want to leave people without tautoko. So we've worked with Marley from The Community Vet Project and she's set up a dedicated fund to help our guests get their dogs registered. 🐕❤️

If you'd like to contribute and show some aroha to our whānau, every little bit helps:

Times are tough for a lot of people right now so absolutely no pressure — but if you're in a position to give, this is a direct and meaningful way to make a difference.

Ngā mihi nui ki a Marley mō tō tūāporo 🙏

Following the recent enforcement operation at Sulphur Point, Under the Stars has released a public statement. We believe in both upholding the law and looking at the person in front of you. These two things are not mutually exclusive and we believe a compassionate, individual approach is needed.
