Every baby matters.
Every family counts.
The Loving Arms Vision
To see every baby born in the community adequately clothed and provided for and every new mother and family adequately cared for and supported.
Loving Arms supports families in need
Practical Help for Families
Since being established in 2014 Loving Arms has helped over 5000 babies and their families, by providing clothing, bedding, nappies, toiletries and larger items such as cots, car seats, and prams.
Each year we give out close to $1,000,000 worth of clothing and supplies to families around the Waikato.
If you are a parent or caregiver of a newborn or infant (or know of one) and need a helping hand we would love to be able to help you out.
Help us, help more
We cannot do what we do supporting families without the help from our wonderful donors and volunteers! Follow the links below for information on how you can help us do more.
Kind words from some of our recipients
“A huge thank you for the big bundle of baby stuff I received from you all today. It is greatly appreciated! I was so over-whelmed with all the stuff. I was so speechless! Thank you again..you don’t know how stressed I have been and thanks to you (Loving Arms) my stress has now gone! A huge thank you from me and my kids.”
"I felt so grateful and lucky. A little emotional too, that there are people out there willing to help others who they don't even know."
"I appreciate everything we received so much! It reduced my stress levels knowing it was sorted, and financially a big relief as baby items can add up to a lot of money."
"I cried tears of happiness! Absolutely amazing! This has given my son everything he needs and more. Thank you so so much. We are so grateful!"
