A Tāmaki Makaurau where
everyone can thrive.
Your support is so much
more than a meal,
it makes Christmas possible.
At the Auckland City Mission – Te Tāpui Atawhai, we envision a Tāmaki Makaurau where everyone has access to enough nourishing kai to sustain themselves and their whānau.
This Christmas, you are invited to join us in making this vision a reality. Your support can help ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
The cost-of-living crisis has impacted us all, but for many in our community, this year has been an overwhelming burden. After covering essential bills, there’s often little left for food. As a city, we can choose to accept this reality or come together to create meaningful change.
Please join us in making that change. Thank you!
Your generosity has the potential of creating long lasting change this Christmas. Christmas with the Mission offers so much more than a meal - it's often the first step into a brighter new year.

Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai
At the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai we believe in a Tāmaki Makaurau where everyone has the opportunity to thrive—a city where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring, and where affordable, healthy homes are a reality for all. A place where everyone has access to nourishing kai and healthcare, including those affected by trauma, mental health challenges, and substance use.
While advocating for long-term systemic change, we provide immediate and essential support. Operating across 11 sites, with HomeGround at our heart, we offer a wide range of specialist wraparound services that evolve to meet the growing needs of our community. Our advocacy aims to drive the change necessary for a more equitable future.
Our work is powered by a dedicated team of skilled social and health workers, professional management, and the generosity of volunteers and donors. Each person plays a crucial role in ensuring we provide the highest level of care and support.
As we look toward our future, we are deeply committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We are proud to carry our Māori name, Te Tāpui Atawhai, and with that, we embrace the responsibility to be a place where two peoples come together. By fostering unity and acknowledging our role in the journey of restoration, we strive to contribute to a future where Aotearoa is a country of two founding peoples, moving forward together.
Join us in creating a city where everyone has the chance to thrive.
