Food Parcels:

Auckland City Mission provides thousands of emergency food parcels every year - 9,000 of them between July 2010 and June 2011.

Mission food parcels are designed to provide 4 days meals, for 4 days for a family of 4. Parcels offer a nutritionally balanced emergency food supply during a cirsis, giving families the time they need to find more permanent solutions.

Auckland City Mission supplies food parcels from donated goods, along with purchased items (such as meat and vegetables) which are difficult to source on a regular basis. Donations large and small are always welcomed.

2 x cans baked beans 440g
