🤝 Community Collection Extravaganza

Sharing Kindness, One Free Item at a Time

In the heart of the Manawatū, amidst the everyday hustle, there’s something truly special a community grounded in compassion, generosity, and the simple joy of giving.

What started as a humble cleaning business has grown into something more: a hub for connection, kindness, and meaningful impact. At Hire A Housewife, we’ve always believed in giving back to our team, to our clients, and most of all, to our wider community.

💡 The Idea That Sparked a Movement

It began with a simple act: sharing surplus items with our own staff. But soon, we saw an opportunity to reach even further to offer good-quality, second-hand items completely free to those who truly need them.

Alongside the amazing Pip from The Egg Project and Fran from Firmly Fit Pilates in Feilding, we launched the Community Collection Extravaganza the Manawatū's first free community-sharing initiative of its kind.

💬 Why It Matters

We noticed something: for many families, even second-hand shopping is becoming unaffordable. Times are tough, and access to essential items clothing, homeware, toys can make a real difference. This initiative isn’t about just clearing clutter; it’s about restoring dignity, spreading kindness, and reminding each other that no one is alone.

It’s a movement powered by love, and driven by the belief that everyone deserves a helping hand no conditions, no cost.

🧡 What Makes It Special

The Community Collection Extravaganza is more than a giveaway. It's:

  • A judgement-free space where people can find what they need

  • A way to reuse and recycle items with purpose

  • A celebration of community spirit and shared abundance

  • A symbol of hope for those going through hard times
