Second Chances - Preloved Clothing Sale!
The House of Grace is a home. Volunteer 'House Parent's, and their children, live at the house, and provide the loving and stable family home that many young girls and their babies so desperately need. It's a place where the girls learn what a healthy family unit looks like, where they are encouraged to return to their own education and make plans for theirs and baby's futures, and it's a place where love, grace and learning abound. As a non-profit and non–government funded organisation, we rely on the support from people who share our heart to see young lives changed.
We are running a fundraiser and we need your help to make it a success! We need donations of good quality women's and children's clothing. Accepting all sizes, all seasons and accessories.
Check out the various drop off locations around Hamilton below.
If you're able to volunteer on the day, in the lead up to the day, or have a question, please get in contact with Michelle via email Michelle@thog.org.nz.
With your support we can provide a positive start in life for a new generation of families and help young Mum's plan for a brighter future.
Starting gun sounds for housing on Te Rapa Racecourse land with re-zoning
Hamilton City councillors have signed off on a plan change that could see Te Rapa Racecourse swap stables for townhouses.
The deputy mayor says this paves the way for “basically creating a new suburb within the city”.

Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
