A huge thank you to New World and their incredible customers and teams across Tāmaki Makaurau. 🩵
Through the Family 2 Family Foodbank Appeal, ten New World stores supported Te Tāpui Atawhai – Auckland City Mission this winter. Albany, Remuera, Southmall, Papakura, Eastridge, Q St, Papatoetoe, Botany, Hobsonville and Newmarket. Customers grabbed a bag in store, filled it with everyday essentials, or donated a pre-filled bag online for whānau in our community.

“Accepted. Empowered. Like I remember who I am. Like I am part of a happy whānau.”
Tap through to read the words of our whānau at Aro ki te Hā – our day programme at HomeGround, where whānau can drop in, connect, and rest.
These words matter to us - because trust isn’t built through a single interaction. It’s built through showing up, day after day, with wraparound support that meets people where they are. This is what that looks like. 🩵
