“Amazing. I received a box at my door two days after visiting my midwife. I wasn’t expecting to get so much.”

Support Whānau Across Aotearoa

At Pregnancy Help, every item donated, every dollar given, and every act of kindness helps ensure whānau and tamariki receive practical support during one of life’s most important and vulnerable stages.

All of our services are completely free for the whānau we support. That means we rely heavily on the generosity of our communities, donors, grant funders, volunteers, and supporters to continue this vital mahi.

Every year, Pregnancy Help branches across Aotearoa support thousands of whānau with essential baby items, clothing, safe sleep spaces, emotional support, and connections to community services.

For many whānau, receiving practical support during pregnancy or early parenting can relieve significant stress and help restore dignity, stability, and hope.


Financial Donations Make the Biggest Difference

While practical donations are always deeply appreciated, financial donations provide the greatest flexibility and impact.

Financial donations allow Pregnancy Help to respond quickly to growing community need and ensure whānau receive the right support at the right time.

Your financial support helps us to:

      • Purchase urgently needed essentials when stock is low
      • Support whānau with items not commonly donated
      • Provide materials for our volunteer knitters and sewers
      • Support volunteer training and wellbeing
      • Cover outreach and travel costs to support isolated communities
      • Maintain welcoming and accessible branch spaces
      • Keep our services free for every whānau who needs support.

Every donation — no matter the size — helps strengthen the support network around whānau and tamariki across Aotearoa.

For many whānau, accessing practical support during pregnancy and early parenting can relieve significant financial pressure and provide reassurance during a challenging time

You can make a financial donation here.


Donate Baby and Maternity Items

We gratefully accept donations of good quality baby, maternity, and early childhood items.

Donated items may include:

  • Maternity clothing
  • Baby clothing from newborn through to early childhood
  • Nappies (disposable and reusable)
  • Bassinets and safe sleep spaces
  • Wahakura and Pēpi-Pod support items
  • Bedding, blankets, and sheets
  • Toys and books

All donated items go directly to whānau who need them most within our communities.

Because the safety of pēpi and tamariki is extremely important to us, all donated equipment must pass a health and safety assessment before being accepted.

Unfortunately, due to health and safety requirements, we are unable to accept certain items including:

  • Used feeding bottles and dummies
  • Cot bumpers or cot surrounds
  • Jolly jumpers
  • Baby walkers
  • Car seats
  • Any mould-damaged items

Please contact your nearest Pregnancy Help branch before donating larger equipment items, as storage capacity and current needs may vary.


Help Us Continue This Mahi

Demand for our services continues to grow, and community support has never been more important.

By donating to Pregnancy Help, you are helping provide dignity, care, practical assistance, and hope to whānau during one of the most important stages of life.

Together, we can help ensure pēpi and whānau across Aotearoa are well supported and empowered to thrive.
