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.
Will you help me whisk up hope, 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.

Even more meals! Thank you and all your supporters!
This amount supports 1,250 people with a hot nutritious meal at Haeata this winter - huge impact!
Boom! With full hearts we thank you and all your amazing supporters. From everyone here at the Mission.
On fire! Could you be our hottest Cook Off fundraiser yet?
Congratulations on reaching your goal!
Thank you to everyone!
