Pomare School need help sorting through resources. "We have some resources that need sorting and rehoming as things are changing in the school again and the current resource room is going to be demolished at the end of 2026. We would need people who are able to look at resources and (with guidance) make some decisions about their usefulness. Some will need to be reorganised into boxes, while others will be discarded. If you had any builders who were able to look at rejigging our old dental clinic so it can be used effectively to store resources, that could be helpful, along with adjusting shelving and sorting where things can be stored."

We are ready to restock the freezers as we head into the busy Christmas time where we want to be prepared to bless many whanau in our community! We are after volunteers who can help cook these meals. You don't have to have any fancy cooking skills to join!

Join us as we bless the Hutt hospital patients & employees with a chapel service onsite! We will have a time of worship, a testimony, and the Word. Then afternoon tea afterwards — please bring a plate of baking to bless them :)

We are refreshing the Wardrobe at the Storehouse! This space needs some cleaning, sorting, re-organising, and processing of clothing. We'll be sorting through clothes donations, restocking the wardrobe and cleaning the space ready for our Vulnerable Women's events.

Join us as we help give this local school a practical refresh across several well-used areas of its grounds and facilities. We'll work together to rake and redistribute bark and sand around the playgrounds, clean windows & school hall, and staining playground equipment. This project will involve a mixture of indoor and outdoor tasks, with opportunities for volunteers of different ages and abilities to contribute.

We are going to bless Naenae College with some gardening work. Their caretaker will be on site to help direct us, but you can expect work like weeding, mowing, raking, etc. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you have an Arise Care t-shirt, feel free to wear that. Bring sun protection or a water bottle. See you there!

If you have a green thumb, enjoy landscaping, and are good on the tools...🔨🌱🌟 This is the project for you!! We will be doing some gardening around the school, refreshing the playground bark, and completing other work around the school. This is a great time to plant seeds of joy and hope and a time to share God's love and kindness. We are putting our faith in action to bless our communities and bring God's light into new environments. All are welcome!! Hope to see you there 🌱☀️ 🔨 Praying for sunny weather but if it ends up raining, then we will move our project inside and do some cleaning around the school hall where we run a breakfast club on Wednesdays. ☁️☁️☁️

Help us bring some fresh life and colour to the outdoor space of a local Women’s Refuge. Our team will be giving an existing garden bed some much-needed TLC, preparing the area and planting a selection of herbs and flowers to create a warmer, more welcoming environment for the women, whānau and staff who use the space. This is a simple, hands-on gardening project with the opportunity to make a beautiful and lasting difference for an organisation doing incredibly important work in our community. Please note: Due to the nature of Women’s Refuge services, this project may need to be adjusted at short notice to ensure the safety and privacy of those they support.

Rowley School is one of our breakfast club schools. They would love some help with revarnishing seats and gardening! Having these areas all tidied up means that the school looks clean and tidy for spring and allows our caretakers to focus on other maintenance projects around the school. Providing a welcoming environment for students and teachers alike!
