Your Neighbours Need Your Assistance Today
Hi Kevin from Vincent de Paul again. Are you able to assist?
We are here 24/7 for people in need. We work with and assist all the agencies in New Plymouth who are also there to assist as needed. But at times we run out of household items that most of us take for granted. For example a fridge, washing machine, queen and single beds, drawers, table and chairs, pots and pans, down to knives forks & spoons.
If you have clean, quality items that you do not need any more, give me a call and we will pick them up and deliver them to your neighbours in New Plymouth and the surrounding area. Please try not to donate items that are dirty or broken. Thank you neighbours.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
