What people say
I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU for supporting our Whānau during this challenging year. Thank you for being open during the partial lockdown, when following every rule, you made it possible for parents to be back to work.
My son loves to be at the afterschool program with the dream team at Freeman's bay. Thanks for providing snacks, which give us parents time to cook dinner in the evenings before the kids starve to death. And those little important things like birthday cakes for the birthday kids make a huge difference. - Youthtown Parent
