Our programs
Wrap-around care, designed with the community.
From an empty fridge to a place to sleep, from a child’s homework to an older neighbour’s loneliness — our programs connect, so that help in one part of life opens doors in the rest.
Our programs
Care that meets people where they are
Food & nutrition
A community pantry, hot-meal kitchen and weekend food packs so no family goes hungry between paydays.
Shelter & housing
Emergency beds, deposit grants and a caseworker who walks with families until they have a stable home.
Youth & learning
After-school tutoring, mentoring and a summer club that keeps young people learning, safe and inspired.
Health & wellbeing
Free clinics, mental-health drop-ins and warm spaces — care for the whole person, not just the crisis.
Older neighbours
Befriending visits, lunch clubs and help at home that keep older people connected and cared for.
New arrivals
Language classes, welcome packs and a friendly guide through the everyday for refugees and new neighbours.

Questions, answered
Still wondering about something? Get in touch — a real person will reply, usually within a day.
Where does my donation actually go?
89 cents of every dollar goes straight to our programs — food, shelter, learning and care. The rest keeps the lights on and our accounts open and audited. We publish a full impact report every year.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Kindred is a registered charity, and we’ll email a receipt the moment your donation clears so you have it for your records.
How do I start volunteering?
Tell us a little about yourself on the get-involved page and our coordinator will be in touch with the next welcome session. No experience needed — just kindness and a couple of free hours.
Can my company partner with you?
Absolutely — from team volunteering days to matched giving and sponsorship. Drop us a line and we’ll find a partnership that fits your people and our community.
