The Warehouse

A big shout-out to the Tokomanawa Queens who teamed-up with the Kindness Collective Foundation and The Warehouse to give back at their semi-final game 💜 Instead of buying tickets, fans brought along new toys to donate, helping the Kindness Collective Foundation deliver Christmas magic to kids and families who need it most at this time of year. Incredible to see so many fans turning their love for the game into making a real difference in their community.

Be the Joy is back! Every Christmas, we’re blown away by the generosity of our customers and the incredible mahi of our charity partners, making a real difference for Kiwi families. From now until Christmas Eve, you can donate at checkout in any The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, or Noel Leeming store. At The Warehouse, you can donate new, unwrapped gifts into donation boxes before Wednesday 17 December, so they reach your local Women’s Refuge in time for Christmas Day. Every dollar raised goes to four incredible partners: Kindness Collective Foundation, Variety New Zealand, National Collective of Independent Women's Refuges, and The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga & Samoa. Last year, together we raised over $319,000 and collected thousands of gifts. So, if you’re looking for an easy way to make Christmas Day brighter for those who need it most, head into any of our stores and join us in giving a little joy.

Supporting local, one bag at a time Here’s something you might not know: A portion of the proceeds from every reusable bag sold helps us fund products that go straight back into the local communities that we operate in. That means when you choose reusable, you’re supporting local schools, community groups, sports teams and a whole lot more. Last financial year alone, our Red Bag sales raised $1.4 million to support communities, families and causes across Aotearoa. We’ve also given teams in our 84 The Warehouse stores more flexibility to respond to local needs faster. Are you a charity, not-for-profit, local school or community group making a difference? Reach out to your local store to see how we can support you! Ian Carter Shane Nalder Lizzie Havercroft Rory O'Sullivan MA (Oxon) Jo Mitchell

Ko te reo kia rere! Let the language soar! We’re so proud to tautoko (support) the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with the return of the Kia Kaha te reo Māori clothing range at The Warehouse, created with our partners at Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.   The ‘Ake Ake Ake - A Forever Language’ merch is a hit with Kiwis once again, with our new teal hoody and caps flying off the shelves - the range is still available so get in quick! Ka nui te mihi ki a Tracy, our Papanui store manager, who spoke with Tahu News this week about the range. And a big thank you to Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori for the opportunity to help Kiwis celebrate reo in style.
