A big THANK YOU to Jonny Schwass of Restaurant Schwass and the sponsors of the City Mission Sunday Lunch.   This lunch was a fantastic success both for the money raised for our foodbank and the wonderful meal prepared by the chefs.

City Mission Trade Me Auction 2008

We have, once again, been really fortunate with the amount of community support for our Trade Me auction.  The following items are going on the block from Monday October 20th, in our Trade Me store (go to www.trademe.co.nz   - click on ‘stores' at bottom of directory on the homepage, scroll down the page until you find the City Mission … about 2/3 down the list – save as a favourite seller so you don't need to find it again ?).

An enormous thank you to all who have donated items  - we absolutely couldn't do this without you!
