Unfortunately, there has been a staggering 175% increase in demand for food parcels this winter as the fallout of Covid-19 continues to be felt by Kiwi families.
Auckland City Mission was established in 1920 by Reverend Jasper Calder. Under Reverend Calder’s leadership, the Mission quickly grew to become one of Auckland’s most influential social service providers – and today, it still is.
The services they offer have developed over time to reflect social changes, but their purpose remains to help people in desperate need. No two clients’ stories are the same and the people who come to the Mission for help come for many different reasons; some are isolated elderly, others are rough sleepers or people living in cars and inappropriate housing. Others are battling addictions, living with mental health issues, or struggling to feed their families over a period of unexpected crisis.

The GN Construction team accompanied by a few of The Blues rugby players volunteered a few hours out of their day to help Sustainable Coastlines clean-up three Auckland beaches – Kohimarama, St Heliers & Ladies Bay. We love our coastlines and oceans and want them litter free, the way they should be! Unfortunately plastic pollution impacts our environment, the health of our wildlife, and human health. The team managed to collect three sacks & a tire, about 23kgs worth of litter in an hour!
Sustainable Coastlines is a registered New Zealand charity. Their mission is to enable people to look after the coastlines and waterways they love. If you would like to learn more, volunteer or donate please visit their website Sustainable Coastlines.
