Drop Off Points

Our drop off points are closing to give our volunteers a break over the festive season.  It would be great if you didn't leave any donations from Friday 15th December at 0900hrs until Tuesday 16th January 2024 at any of our drop off points.    From Monday 8th January 2024 you are welcome to drop off FOOD DONATIONS ONLY at 5 Peterhouse Street, Tawa, Wellington 5028.

Our volunteers love sorting your donations to make up orders for families working with our partner agencies.  KCA does not sell any item donated to us.  Please respect the work that we do - providing new or good quality items to those in need.

Please ensure that all items that you donate to us are 'still fit for purpose'.  All clothing items needs to be recently laundered, free of rips, stains, missing buttons or zips.   This includes anything that is a necessity of life - including nappies.

Highchairs must be clean and ready to go to their new homes complete with the harnesses.

We DO NOT accept soft toys in flu season, lever arch folders, adult books, any items with mould, chips, broken parts, missing parts, yellow stains, bodily fluid stains or food and drink stains on them.  Please contact tracy@kca.org.nz if you have furniture and whiteware to donate.  This is because we no longer pick up furniture but have a database of agencies whose clients require assistance.  Our partner agencies are happy to collect the furniture and whiteware directly from you to take to their clients homes directly.
