Some Auckland families will be a little warmer this winter, thanks to the efforts of Year 11 textile students at Mahurangi College.
The students made more than 40 adult hoodie and sweatpants sets, as well as more than 30 garments for babies and children.
They also prepared food parcels and school stationery bags with supportive messages for children starting intermediate and secondary school.
The donations were collected by Awhi Shed and distributed to families across Auckland.
Teacher-in-charge Abbie Thalari thanked the community for its generous donations, which included bed linen, pillows, sleeping bags, blankets and jackets.
