About the Organisation
Auckland City Mission - Te Tapui Atawhai supports Aucklanders in greatest need. Our services have evolved as the city's social needs have done and we respond to these needs with care and compassion while advocating for a reality where there are: enough suitable homes, enough money for nutritious food and easily accessible health care for all. Since our doors opened more than 100 years ago, this has been our 'why'. Today we operate across 10 sites in Tamaki Makaurau. We offer support for however long and in whatever way needed – for some people that's simply accessing one of our many services, for others that's a complex journey with our full support.
