Orange Sky is an Australian charity who have come to major New Zealand cities to provide a little dignity to rough sleepers. Orange Sky vans offer these hot showers and clothes washing services free of charge. Before the orange van came along, I'd just get a bucket of water and sponge myself down. The Waipareira Trust is a kaupapa Māori focussed support service for people in the Waitematā region. The Auckland team of Orange Sky volunteers have washed more than 15,000 loads of washing, provided 6500 showers and logged 25,000 hours of kōrero.
