Support Families with Everyday Essentials

At RMHC New Zealand we take care of the practical things so families can focus on their child staying in a hospital away from home. Our Houses operate like any home except on a bigger scale. We try to keep our pantries stocked with the basics so families have one less thing to worry about when staying with us. Cash donations are always preferred as we can then spend it on the items we need most. You can make a donation on our website here.

To help keep our families safe, RMHC NZ is a nut-free environment. Unfortunately, we can’t accept any products that contain nuts (including biscuits, muesli bars, cereals, nut flours, chocolate, etc.). Products labelled “may contain nuts” are welcome. Thank you for your understanding and support.

If you would like to purchase some items for the House, we would love if you could help us restock our pantries and kitchens. Below is a list of the things we currently need.

For large deliveries please contact our team to arrange a time to drop them off by calling 09 365 8315 or emailing [email protected]
