A pēpi pack filled with baby clothing, blankets, booties and toys.

We support whānau with free baby essentials for the first year of life — and beyond.

By harnessing the generosity of crafters, volunteers and donors, we provide new and gently-used baby items via local community partners to those most in need.

Our Impact So Far

Hand-knitted baby garments prepared by volunteers.

465,000 items given

We’ve passed on more than 465,000 baby items to those in need (a total value of over 3.7 million dollars) to support the critical first year of life.

Volunteers sorting and packing baby items together.

200+ community partners

From Auckland to Southland, we’re supporting over 200 community partners including social workers, midwives and support services.

“Everything baby needs.”

98% of families surveyed said that receiving a pēpi pack freed up money to enable them to buy other things their whānau needed.

Together we can enable every baby to flourish by providing the best start in life.

Focusing on the critical first 1,000 days of life, our pēpi packs provide the physical resources that nurture the health, development and wellbeing of babies and their whānau, whilst alleviating material hardship.
