Help Me Make a Difference

On 16th June I’ll be joining senior business leaders and top chefs at St Matthew in the City for The Cook Off.

For one night, we will come together to cook a delicious three-course meal for 150 Auckland City Mission guests, many of whom are experiencing homelessness or face a daily struggle to put food on the table. It is more than just a meal; it’s about hope and a sense of community for those who need it most.

With my day job involving helping thousands of NZ'ers achieve home ownership, I am conscious that for a large number of people this is not an aspiration they can even consider. That's why I chose to be part of The Cook Off this year.

Will you help me make a small contribution, one dish at a time to make an even bigger impact? I've committed to fundraising at least $10,000. The more I raise the more people we can help.

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.

What is alarming is that as winter approaches, many people living on the streets will bear the brunt of the cold, wet and miserable weather, but Haeata will continue to be a safe, dry space offering meals and connecting people to essential Missions support.

My fellow participants and I are aiming to raise enough funds to provide 15,625 meals this winter.

By donating $320 you could provide 20 warm and nutritious meals in Haeata.
By donating $160 you could provide 10 warm and nutritious meals in Haeata.

Please support me in The Cook Off by making a donation.
