You can find a full list of suggested food and gifts under our Resources Section.  

In general, we would love new unwrapped gifts for our tamariki ages 0-18 (no battery toys please) and in date non-perishable food for the pantry.  

Due to this being an extremely busy time for our small team of drivers and trucks, we ask our Auckland's Angels to please organise to drop off your collections.  You can drop these either to us at HomeGround or to a library.  

HOMEGROUND: 9th - 20th December (Monday to Friday only): You can drop off to us at our HomeGround Federal Street Angels Drop Off Zone at 195 Federal Street, Auckland CBD between 12noon and 6pm.

LIBRARIES:  1st - 19th of December: If your collection isn't too big, you can drop it off to participating Auckland libraries (from Orewa right down to Papakura).  

Please do register your donation at the library - there will be a QR code for you to scan which leads to a webform.  It means you get thanked and we know what's coming in.

There is limited parking at Federal Street outside HomeGround, but please drive carefully as it is a shared road.  This section will be updated as we have more information around parking.  

Libraries will have their own parking guidelines.

If you are unable to drop off your collection, please let us know and we will ask our driver co-ordinator to contact you to advise when they are next in your areas.   Please give us as much notice as possible.

We don't want any children to think that Santa has forgotten them, or families facing an empty table this Christmas.

A Christmas box of food and packages of gifts for each child will be given to our current families supported by the Mission.

Many families will also need food after Christmas, so general food donations will also be included in our standard boxes of food and these will be distributed throughout the festive season.

Haeata - our Community Dining room - serves a hot meal 365 days a year to people experiencing homelessness. On Christmas Day we will provide our guests with an extra special Christmas meal between 8 - 11.   

Please note this service is not open for public bookings.

If you need food, please contact us 0800 223 663, Mon-Fri, 8.30-4pm.

On Christmas Day we have enough volunteers for our meal in Haeata.

However, we always need help.  If you are interested in helping pack boxes of food and gifts for families in the lead up to Christmas, check here for opportunities or email volunteer@aucklandcitymission.org.nz 

Our marae partners are Papakura Marae, Manurewa Marae and Ngā Whare Waatea Marae in Māngere who support Aucklanders in greatest need in their local communities.

If you need assistance with food, you can find  opening hours and phone numbers to call here.  

Please call 0800 223 663 between Mon-Fri, 8.30am to 4.00pm if you need help with food. 

Visit our main website to get full details on food, health or housing support.  

All cash donations made to Auckland's Angels will be used to purchase food or gifts where there is a shortage over the festive season.

For a full breakdown on how the Mission uses donations, you can visit our Annual Report .

If you make a donation to the Auckland's Angel page, you should automatically receive a tax receipt for your donation.

If your donation is $5 or over, you will be able to claim 33% back from the Inland Revenue.

We sincerely appreciate all donations, whether it be gifts, good or funds. 

Donations of funds will ensure that we are able to purchase any shortfall we may have in gifts or food, so we can share the joy of Christmas to as many people doing it tough this Christmas.
