The Cook Off 2026

Help Me Make a Difference

On 8th June we will join senior business leaders and top chefs at the NZ International Convention Centre for Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai's Cook Off.

For one night, we came together to cook a delicious four-course meal for over 200 Mission guests, people experiencing homelessness or facing a daily struggle to put food on the table. 

Together, our collective goal is an ambitious $400,000.  We are proud to be part of The Cook Off - but we can't do it without you.

EVERY SINGLE WEEK, over 1,600 warm and nutritious meals are served in Haeata, the Mission’s community dining room, to people who are living on the streets or in substandard accommodation without any ability to cook. 

We and our fellow participants are aiming to raise enough funds to ensure that the Mission is able to provide over 25,000 meals for people at Haeata this winter.    

Please support by making a donation and together we can ensure that people who are experiencing homelessness are able to receive at least meal each day.

Every donation will make a difference!
