Volunteering
We have been blown away by the amount of support and interest from Aucklanders wanting to volunteer at the Mission. Thank you so much!
We are currently experiencing high levels of demand for our volunteer opportunities and have limited spots across our services. We are working on filling these at present, but if you have already contacted us, we will be back in touch as soon as we can. If you don’t hear from us, please do drop us a reminder!
Thanks again Auckland. We knew we could count on you!

GROUP VOLUNTEERS – CORPORATE OR COMMUNITY
Each year we engage hundreds of volunteers at the Mission as part of a corporate or community group. We need your help year round in both our Distribution Centre and Haeata Community Centre.
Our distribution centre is located in Grafton. Group volunteers most often participate in packing emergency food parcels for struggling families, or sorting donated clothing and household items. The distribution centre is open Monday to Saturday and groups can volunteer between 9.00am – 3.30pm. This activity is suitable for groups from 3 – 15, a minimum of 3 hours is required and where possible we recommend a 9am start.
Distribution FAQ’s and how to book
Group volunteers help provide our essential daily meal service in our Haeata Community kitchen, onsite at 23 Union St. Volunteers help by preparing food for serving, serving food to our Homeless Community, and cleaning before, during and after service. Opportunities are available for smaller groups of 5 – 6. Volunteer timings are 11:00am to 3:00pm on weekdays and 1.00pm to 6.00pm on weekends.
