Free COVID-19 Resources to Help Those at Home

Helen from Mount Wellington

It's great to see so many businesses and volunteers offering free help during COVID-19. While trying to share these with people I care about, I'm finding it hard to keep track. So I have compiled relevant and searchable lists of volunteers and businesses offering free resources here for families who are socially distancing or self-isolating due to COVID-19 in New Zealand.

www.parentingconnect.com...

I am not affiliated with any of the businesses, nor do I make money from ads. I'm just using the tools that I have and doing my part to help out.


If you know of a company that is offering free resources that may be helpful for the community, or you would like to volunteer your time to help others, please submit the information via the forms.
