Your generosity helps provide practical support and care for communities doing it tough this winter.
Your support helps us to turn up consistently to over 80 shifts run weekly across Aotearoa - providing free laundry, warm showers, genuine connection, and a sense of belonging.
As we move into the colder winter months, we want to share kōrero from Andrew, Jay and Murray. Their experiences shows how your support uplifts lives through something as simple as laundry, and as powerful as connection. You can hear from them 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 Murray.
“Winter is a challenging time, but with the service it makes it a much easier time... it has been a dream for some people to be able to shower and cleanse themselves and clean their clothes, their sleeping bags, and their blankets.”
For friends like Murray in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, the arrival of the Orange Sky van is about more than just laundry; it’s about feeling like himself again.
For community and whānau experiencing homelessness, especially during the cold winter months, the Orange Sky service is even more important.
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.
