He Rourou Aroha has been a hapū-led initiative supporting our unhoused whānau and those in need since 2016. This year marks 10 years of He Rourou Aroha. 10 years since the doors of our marae first opened to our kāinga kore whānau, offering hot kai, warm showers, and a cuppa. As we enter this milestone year, we are back once again, committed to continuing this kaupapa.
He Rourou Aroha returns on Monday, 23 February, with our fortnightly lunches held every second Monday at 12pm, hosted at Huria Marae, 1 Te Kaponga Street.
This year, we’ll have a nurse on-site at the marae, available for anyone wanting to check in on their hauora.
If you’re needing a feed, a hot shower, a chance to wash your laundry, or simply a warm drink and kōrero, you’re welcome to join us. All we ask is that whānau attending show respect to our team and volunteers, our Māori wardens, and one another.
Note: Pick-ups from the library are no longer available, so please make sure you are at the correct locations for pick-up.
