The Kindness Collective is a nationwide charity that connects children and families with the things they need (from everyday essentials to moments of joy).
Kindness Collective supports over 100,000 people experiencing hardship each year through six nationwide programmes.
We believe that by spreading kindness one person at a time, we can create a kinder New Zealand, reduce inequity, strengthen communities, and help build a future where everyone has the chance to thrive.
Our vision is to build a culture of kindness, free from poverty, where every family can thrive.
Through our nationwide programmes, we provide essentials, moments of joy, care and connection to thousands of Kiwi families living in hardship every year. Here is just some of our impact!
