Auckland city mission are currently overwhelmed with requests for food parcels. For this month alone they have given out over 1,150 food parcels. With the numbers increasing rapidly, Lucy Austin spoke to David Ciurleonous from the mission to find out a bit more about the issue and what needs to be done to help. If you would like to donate food to the mission you can drop it off on Hobson street, or at the New World supermarkets at Victoria park and Devonport.
