Auckland

As well as providing food parcels for all Social Service agencies with clients on the North Shore, we also supply 55 "make at home" school lunch kits each week which are distributed across 7 schools with high need. Each kit makes 17 lunches. We operate a "Social Supermarket" for clients at the stage of needing a "hand up" rather than a handout. Our social supermarket clients are referred by their budgeter or support worker and they collect their order from a pick up point in their neighbourhood. Our annual Christmas shop supports over 200 of the most vulnerable whanau on the Shore through Christmas week with a Social Supermarket style "Christmas Shop", reducing stress and shame and improving mana and tino rangitiratanga https://gwt.org.nz/
