Together, we’re here to help you stay connected and warm - because everyone deserves electricity they can depend on, and a community that cares.
The Salvation Army
We provide quality social services in the name of Jesus Christ by sharing our spiritual, emotional and material resources to empower others.
The Hamilton City Salvation Army offers essential community services, including a Social Supermarket, Financial Mentoring, Social Housing, and Programmes in Parenting and Positive Lifestyles.

Nau Mai Ra
We believe that power is a right not a privilege, that people are more important than profits.
Nau Mai Rā sell power like every other power company, but the reason they do, is to get it to the people and places who need it most. Through their pay-it forward model, Nau Mai Rā has raised $1,000,000 to go towards helping local kaupapa and support families with their power bills.
