Help me help Aucklanders in need.
I’ve been inspired by the actions of some of my Auckland Transport colleagues who’ve been supporting those most in need of help in our local communities over the last six months.
On Wednesday 21st October I’ve taken up the challenge to help cook a three-course meal for up to 200 Auckland City Mission guests to raise urgently needed funds for the Mission. I’d really appreciate your support.
For a century, the Mission has been looking after Tamaki Makaurau’s most vulnerable people - providing food, crisis support, medical care, shelter and dignity.
In these times they need our help more than ever.
For one in five Auckland families, it’s now a daily struggle to put food on the table and demand for the Mission’s emergency food parcels has more than doubled because of COVID.
I’m trying to raise $10,000, enough to provide 74 emergency food parcels (more than 3,500 nutritious meals) for people in our community who otherwise wouldn’t be able to feed their whānau at this difficult time.
Could you please help by spreading the word about this initiative or by making a donation to the Auckland City Mission at https://acmcookoff2020.everydayhero.com/nz/auckland-transport-shane-ellison
Big or small - everything you can give will make a difference. Thank you.

4 年Just a couple more days to go until the Auckland City Mission Cook-off where I'll exchange my laptop for an apron to serve up a meal for the guests of the Mission to raise funds for families in Auckland who are struggling to put food on the table. Thanks to everyone from across New Zealand, Australia and further afield who have donated. Don't miss out on the opportunity to support families in need.
