More Of What We Do

Please check 'Our Story' for more about Sunday Blessings

FREE COMMUNITY MEALS

Overseeing the delivery of our Sunday meal as well as maintaining the Auckland CBD meals list is the core service we provide to our rough sleeping community.

Food Rescue

Sunday Blessings Auckland accepts quality surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. Our team of volunteers create them into beautiful meals for our friends in need. Please get in contact if you would like to donate.

We are also proud members of Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance

The Community Fridge

The original CBD Community Fridge was an initiative not set up by us but that we helped service that shared excess food to those in need. It was based in Auckland CBD and open 24 hours a day. Businesses and individuals were encouraged to leave excess food in the fridge and anyone who needs it could it take for free. Take what you need, leave what you don't. Read more

The original Community Fridge closed in the day before World Homeless Day on 9 October 2019. Our committee has since bought and provided two more community fridges, located in Auckland CBD

WHERE:

1. Te Mātāwai at 139 Greys Avenue

2. The Front Door at 307 Karangahape Road

World Homeless Day

Annually, World Homeless Day is recgonised internationally on 10 October. Sunday Blessings for the last 7 years has been involved in participating and coordinating Auckland's World Homeless Day events, applying our value of kotahitanga and collaboration at every step of planning and delivery

Kiwi Road Trip Experience

Over the Christmas period in 2019 we trialed taking vanloads of Sunday Blessings guests to beaches outside of Auckland for a day trip of fun.

These trips ran smoothly and we look forward to providing more over Christmas in 2020.

Auckland Anniversary Floods

In January 2023 Sunday Blessings and the volunteer group supported by MP Chlöe Swarbrick set up Auckland's first community only response (not led or funded by local or central government) to the Auckland floods.

It reflected that the Sunday Blessings has the connections and resilience to not only survive climate events, but respond with a 'by the community for the community' led response

Education & Outreach

We frequently visit workplaces and schools to share who we are and what we do through the art of interactive, high-energy, appropriate and tailored storytelling.

Our most recent speaking events in 2025 include Diocesan School, Pillars Mother's Day Lunch and onsite before visiting doctors from Germany
