Tree of Remembrance is here for 2025

Across Aotearoa, Kiwis are coming together to honour loved ones through the Tree of Remembrance campaign in support of hospice care — and every dollar donated locally makes a real difference right here at home.

In our region, you’ll find the Trees proudly hosted at:
🌲 Farmers The Plaza (Palmerston North)
🌲 Farmers Palmerston North Home Centre
🌲 Farmers Levin

When you make a donation and place a message on the tree, 100% of the funds raised at these three stores come directly back to Arohanui Hospice, helping us continue delivering specialist care and support for patients and families across Manawatū, Horowhenua and Tararua.

If you’re visiting Farmers this December, please make a donation, pause at the Tree, write a message for someone special, and help keep hospice care free for those who need it most.

A huge thank you to for their incredible support!

At last month’s event, they raised an amazing $6,400 — and over the past three years, their high teas have contributed a phenomenal $18,500 towards hospice care at Arohanui Hospice.

We are truly grateful for the love, effort, and community spirit that goes into this event each year. Your support helps us continue providing compassionate care for patients and their whānau across our region.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone involved.

Pre-Xmas Toy Clear-Out!

Do your kids get loads of gifts every Christmas? Get ahead on your New Year’s cleanout by donating any unwanted toys to your local Arohanui Hospice shop.

For many families, second-hand toys are the only affordable option, and your donation could make a child’s Christmas day extra special. Let’s give those toys a second life and spread the joy this holiday season!

Change for Good!

Have you got foreign coins lying around that you can’t exchange? Or even spare NZ coins? Turn them into something meaningful!

Drop your coins at House of Travel, The Square, and they’ll convert them into cash to support Arohanui Hospice. Every little bit makes a big impact — just like last time, when your spare coins helped raise funds for our local hospice care.

Let’s turn small change into big change for our community!

Celebrating an incredible milestone!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of celebrating with the PN Hot Rod Club, who have been proudly supporting Arohanui Hospice for many years through their annual Club Swap Meet.

Thanks to their dedication and generosity, the club has now donated over $40,000 to Hospice — an amazing achievement!

We loved the chance to talk with the club members about the impact their support makes and to personally thank them for their ongoing contribution. Your efforts make a real difference for our patients, families, and community.

Thank you, PNHRC, for helping us provide care and support when it matters most.

Our Wish List
This month, we’re asking for gift vouchers. They may seem small, but together they make a big difference – helping us cover essential costs so more funds can go directly into patient and whānau care.
No matter the amount, your kindness matters. 💞
