Your generosity helps provide practical support and care for Kiwis doing it tough.
Your support helps us to turn up consistently to over 70 shifts run weekly across Aotearoa - providing free laundry, genuine connection, and a sense of belonging.
As we step into a new year together, we want to share the story of David - one of the many people whose life you will help to uplift through something as simple as laundry, and as powerful, as connection. You can hear from David by clicking on the video on the right.
Your donations also help Orange Sky to expand into new areas across Aotearoa, and supports our kaupapa of positively connecting communities across the motu (country). Ngā mihi nui, thank you.

Your donation helps people like David.
“For me, Orange Sky gives people back their life. For something so simple as laundry...it gives people back their mana and that sense of purpose."
Each Monday, when David sits down for a kōrero (conversation) while his washing spins, it’s more than a routine; it’s a moment of connection and care. “I always feel amazing when I leave,” he says. “Having that half an hour to an hour chat… it brightens up my day. It just fills me with so much joy.”
The cost of living has made even small essentials harder to manage, but services like Orange Sky ease that burden and bring people together. For David, it’s a space to catch his breath, have a kōrero, and feel part of something good that helps turn an ordinary Monday into something brighter.
Meeting people where they are means more than a location.
Every community looks different - and so does our response. From big cities to small towns and suburbs, Orange Sky partners with local community providers to make sure our laundry and shower services meet each community’s unique needs.
Showing up consistently builds trust, connection, and friendship.
Thank you for helping us build a resilient and compassionate community.
