Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

It's that time again! We're doing our yearly collection for Auckland City Mission's "Auckland Angels" campaign and helping them bring the magic of Christmas to families in need. If you would like to donate you'll find our collection trolley by the reception area of Parnell Community Centre or at the EFTPOS stand at @parnellfarmersmarket . Please drop your donations by 18 December 2024.


❓ What are we collecting?
• Christmas treats such as mince pies, biscuits and chocolate
• Tinned fruit and vegetables
• Baked beans, tinned soup and tinned spaghetti
• Tinned meat and fish
• Pasta sauce, pasta and rice
• Breakfast cereal and muesli bars
• Spreads, such as jam, peanut butter or honey
• Flour and sugar
• Baby food
• Nappies
• Toiletries, such as soap, shampoo, deodorant and feminine hygiene products

Donations of new, unwrapped gifts for children and teenagers are hugely appreciated. Please do not gift clothes as it is difficult to allocate sizes. No battery operated toys please!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
