Meals on Wheels volunteers needed in South Auckland
At New Zealand Red Cross we recruit and coordinate volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels to people who are unable to cook for themselves. Every weekday all around the country, 250 volunteers are on the roads delivering hot, healthy lunches. Last year we distributed over 700,000 meals.
We are struggling to fill the rosters for volunteer drivers in South Auckland and need up to 70 more drivers. Could you spare just a couple of hours late morning once a week or fortnight? We provide training and support – and your fuel costs will be reimbursed.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver, you can apply apply online or call the contact centre on 0800 RED CROSS (0800 733 27677).

Please consider becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer driver, especially if you can deliver to Māngere Bridge, Māngere, Māngere East, Favona, Papatoetoe, Otara, Manukau City Centre, Otahuhu and Mt Wellington.

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
