Good In the Hood
For the month of May, Huggable Hearts were chosen as one of four charities at Z K Drive in Hamilton and Z Te Awamutu. Customers got a token when they filled up or made a purchase and could choose which charity they supported by placing a token in the charities box. At the end of the promotion, $4,000 was divided up between the four charities. It was so awesome to watch our booth grow over the days and we would like to thank each and every one of you who came in and voted for us. We received an amazing $1560 from Z Te Awamutu & $820 from Z K Drive and we would like to thank both of these Z store's from the bottom of our hearts for choosing us as one of the charities. The money will help us hugely with purchasing more fabric, rice/filling & postage for our hearts to go out to families.
Now a Registered Charitable Trust!
Thanks to the amazing Charlotte from Davidson Twaddle Isaac Lawyers we are now an incorporated charitable trust and registered as a charity with the charities commission (CC52524). This opens exciting new doors for us at Huggable Hearts and we look forward to working towards reaching more families NZ wide as word spreads about our services we offer.

Rice & Fabric Drive
|
My wonderful friend Amy organised a rice and fabric drive through her girl's school, where the children bought in some rice or fabric and swapped it for a cupcake. Amy made 250 cupcakes and the children managed to bring in 60kg of rice and a huge haul of fabric in return, how amazing is that!!! Thank you hugely to Amy Fuller and also Rotokauri School for helping us out with supplies we really appreciate. It will help so much for us to get more of our Hearts out to families in need.
If you are interested in hosting a drive for us, please contact us. |
