Kia ora koutou,
Strathmore Park Community Centre Trust would like to take a moment to say a big THANK YOU to all of the fabulous people who kindly donate their valuable time and goods to our community.
All the clothes, gifts and food donated find homes that appreciate your generosity. We love sharing your kindness with others!
To our ever long list of amazing people who volunteer in many ways! Keeping our centres tidy, helping with food pickups and deliveries, cooking, baking, dropping people home… the list goes on!
All of your support and kindness makes a huge difference to peoples’ lives.
Community spirit is strong here in Strathmore!
