If you want your monetary donation to go towards a specific initiative, for example Kai Avondale or Pātiki Hubs, please put that in the deposit reference field.

Volunteer

We have many volunteer opportunities available within I Love Avondale.

You could help at our food parcel service, Free Guys; our weekly community dinner, Feed the Streets; a network of school Breakfast Clubs; support our hub coordinator running activities for local tamariki and rangatahi; or be part of collecting rescued food from local eateries and suppliers.

Utilise our Hub

Our Eastdale Hub in the carpark of Eastdale Reserve is set up for our community to use.

We especially welcome recreation, family and/or youth activities as the Hub sits alongside sports fields and courts, a playground and three schools. There are toilets, a kitchenette and office space, and we have a range of sports, play and other equipment onsite that you can use for your event or activity as well.
