Bring the Spirit of Christmas to the Children of Manawatu

Unwrap the Magic of Giving

Christmas is a time of joy, but for many families in our community, the rising cost of living makes it difficult to provide gifts for their children. At Hire A Housewife, we believe every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas.

How You Can Make a Difference

We invite you to join us in spreading holiday cheer through our Paper Bag Presents initiative. We are partnering with local businesses to collect gifts for children in need, which will be distributed to Women’s Refuge, Paper Bag Presents, and other local organisations.

Our Mission

Our goal is simple: ensure every child in Manawatu has a gift to unwrap this Christmas. We want to see the joy on children's faces when they realise that Santa has visited, and we want to help parents share that moment of happiness.

Get Involved

If you'd like to donate new gifts, volunteer, or contribute in any way, please reach out to us. Your support, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference in the lives of families this holiday season.

Together, we can make this Christmas brighter for our community.
