Our journey, your community
At Westie Witches Helping Hands, our story began in late 2020, born from the shared dream of two friends to uplift our community after the pandemic. What started with just 17 hampers for a local West Auckland organisation has grown into a movement dedicated to heartfelt support. We're not just another charity; we're about delivering kindness with a personal touch.
More than just a charity
We believe that everyone deserves to feel valued. That's why at Westie Witches Helping Hands, we go beyond basic assistance. We pour love and care into every hamper, ensuring those we support don't just receive aid, but feel seen and respected. Our unique approach means each gift has an 'extra twist' – a personal touch that shows we truly care, making sure no one feels like just another statistic.
From personal struggles to community strength
Our passion is deeply rooted in our own journeys. Having faced personal struggles, we understand the challenges many in our community endure. This empathy fuels our mission and our big dream: to help as many struggling individuals and families as possible across Auckland. It’s this shared experience that ignited the Westie Witches Helping Hands, transforming our past hardships into a powerful drive to serve others with compassion and understanding.
Making a tangible difference, today
Right now, Westie Witches Helping Hands is actively weaving itself into the fabric of our community. For example, we're currently running a successful non-perishable food drive with the incredible support of a local school. The generosity from this initiative allows us to collate and distribute thoughtfully prepared hampers to nominated charities, ensuring essential support reaches those who need it most across Auckland.
"The hampers from Westie Witches were more than just food; they brought a sense of hope and dignity during a really tough time. Their personal touch made all the difference."
