Give hope to those affected by poverty

Help us provide support for people and families affected by poverty and hardship. A small difference can make a huge impact on someone’s life and their family.

Caring for families and communities

Every parent should be able to send their child to school with a full belly. We are here to serve those affected by poverty, by giving them access to help so they can live a life with hope and dignity.

We support over 60 agencies annually within the greater Auckland area - stretching from the Far-North to the South Auckland who help struggling families, children and communities.

Our work in the community

Focus on poverty

Our focus is to care for those in poverty and hardship through wrap-around support, food, transitional housing and domestic violence refuges.

Working in partnership

We partner with over 60 agencies that provide grass-roots support for our families and communities in need.

Guided by the gospel

Our actions are guided by gospel values and by Christ’s message "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did to me". (Matthew 25:40)
