I'm taking on The Big Mission Home!

I am taking part in The Big Mission Home and walking our city this March to raise funds for the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai.

For more than a century, the Mission has been supporting Aucklanders in their times of need - providing nutritious food, homes, crisis support, medical care and dignity.  As the Mission continues to respond to huge demand for their essential services, they need our help more than ever.

I am raising funds to help support the services provided at the Mission’s HomeGround where:

• every day between 250 – 350 people who are living on the streets or have no access to cooking facilities receive a hot nutritious meal in Haeata – the Community Dining Room. For many this meal is the only food they have each day.
• Over 2,000 people receive vital and affordable health care at the Calder Health Centre.
• During the day people living on the streets or in unsafe accommodation have a safe place to rest, wash and connect with Mission staff for support.
• People with drug or alcohol dependency can access a professional social withdrawal (detox) service
• 80 people who were homeless or on the social housing registry now call home in the apartments
• People are able to access support with affordable housing, job training, budgeting, Government support and community activities.

Please support me by making a donation. Big or small, everything you can give will make a difference to Aucklanders in greatest need.

Thank you!
