The tradition of providing free community Christmas meals continues this year, with organisers expecting the biggest turnout yet.
A free Christmas lunch has been held at the Orewa Community Centre on Christmas Day for 20 years, and food rescue charity Love Soup also has a very well attended Christmas meal in Whangaparaoa.
This is the 20th year that the free Christmas lunch, currently organised by the Salt Community Trust, has been held in Orewa. Last year a record 180 people attended and event coordinator Debra Hunt says she expects this year will be even bigger.
City Missions Auckland City Mission is doing Christmas a bit differently this year. Instead of one big Christmas lunch, several smaller events are being held across the city. To apply for a ticket, call 0800 223 663 or email foodservice@aucklandcitymission.org.nz.

Auckland City Mission s big Christmas lunch is off, but smaller events will take its place. The charity is running a phone system and drive-through collection for Christmas food parcels and presents to avoid people waiting in queues. Call 0800 223 663 if you would like to receive a parcel. At the end of each phone assessment, the caller will be given a time to pick up the food and gifts for whānau.
