Where to donate baked goods?

Renee from Matakatia - Tindalls Beach

Hi neighbors

Hi neighbors

So, I'm purging my cupboards and fridge of all my baking ingredients while I'm in the process of losing weight that I've put on. I absolutely love to bake so I thought "maybe I can use all this stuff and bake a bunch and donate it somewhere that could use it" so that's what I wanna do.

I'm from Canada and while I'm a resident and have been here for three and a half years I'm not familiar with all the charities, shelters, good Will's, etc and where they're located.

I'd love to hear your suggestions for where I could drop off the baked goods (totally free of charge). Doesnt matter where as long as it's anywhere in the Auckland area (including rodney and north shore).

Thank you.
