Te Korōria Wish List
Thank you so much to those people who have kindly donated rugs – they will definitely be put to good use!
There are still a few items that Te Korōria is in need of and we are wondering if you are able to help? Do you have any good quality rugs that could be used as blankets for customers sitting outside? Ideally woollen.
We are also setting up for the summer now that the grass courtyard is finished (and looks amazing). We would welcome donations towards purchase outside equipment for families to use – These include a giant Jenga tower ($240), Giant Connect Four ($492), Giant Draughts Game ($452). These will be great for our customers to use as well as being able to be used by our Church whānau for events.
If you would like to know more, or have something you could donate, please get in touch with Kate (Kate@karorianglican.org.nz).
