AM Show & Auckland City Mission Flood Response

With the support of AM Show, and an anonymous donor willing to match all donations up to the value of $150,000, Auckland City Mission -Te Tāpui Atawhai is raising much needed funds for their emergency response to Auckland's weather crisis.

In the aftermath of the weekend’s flooding, with more bad weather on the horizon, Auckland City Mission -Te Tāpui Atawhai will be there for Aucklander's in the greatest need.

The Mission team was on duty all weekend to help those needing immediate relief from the floods. Our emergency response will continue for the days and weeks to come as we support people with kai, clothing and housing.

As the torrential rain set in on Friday, our Outreach team was on the streets. They connected with people currently experiencing homelessness to make sure they had a dry space with enough clothes and kai to ride out the storm - and that they weren’t in danger. That care continued through the weekend, while at HomeGround our doors remained open for those needing a hot meal and dry place, while also making sure people we support in apartments were safe too.

This week, we will continue to provide parcels of food to those who need it most – both to families affected by the storm and those who, for other reasons, need support with kai. Over the weekend, we supplied some of our marae partners in South Auckland with clothing and this week will offer food as well. In whatever way we can help people through this difficult time, we will.
