Food and Good Donations

We’ll put it to good use

One in five Auckland families is struggling to put food on the table.

With your help, we distributed nearly 40,000 food parcels in 2024—but the need remains high. By donating food, hygiene items, clothing or household goods, you can make a direct, tangible difference for people across Tāmaki Makaurau.
