Many Auckland families are facing the devastation of flood water through their homes and have lost precious belongings and access to even the basics like food, clean clothing and bedding.
As part of a network of caring organisations, Visionwest has activated its emergency response plan and is on the frontline making sure families have the practical help they need to get through these next days safely and with dignity.
If you’d like to donate to help Visionwest replenish these supplies and make sure we are ready to respond to the longer term need of people who have been affected by the floods, please go to www.visionwest.org.nz/donate .
UPDATE - So far we have raised $22,323. This is being used for food and bedding. Other needs will be met as they come to our attention. Thank you to everyone who has given so generously.

There is also a big need for hygiene and sanitation packs for the affected households so it would be amazing if this could be distributed to our families in need.

Hey are you still accepting bedding and clothes ? We have some we want to donate….

Auckland Flood Relief - The response so far…
Visionwest have been supporting the Auckland Flood Emergency response by providing food and emergency blankets to whānau who have had to seek shelter at the St Leonards Road School Civil Defence Centre.
A big part of this has been supplying food to the Kelston Hub who are preparing meals for these whānau.
At this point we have provided three pallets of food including: over 200kg of chicken and large quantities of breakfast foods and milk. A number of our team have been helping to prepare meals.
We have also distributed emergency food parcels to those who needed them and will continue to support with food parcels over the coming days.
Thanks to Foodstuffs North Island for their generous support to help with this response and James Blond Rentals for the use of a truck to cart things around.
And a BIG thanks to those of you who have supported the Visionwest Flood Response Appeal.
