Auckland City Mission (Māori: Te Tāpui Atawhai) is a New Zealand-based charitable trust.

The Mission's work increased into the Great Depression, and included a night shelter with a food kitchen, feeding hundreds of people every day, a medical clinic, children's health camps, and a second-hand clothing shop to help fund the other services.

Calder said the Mission started "with no money, no rules but with an excellent committee, a lot of enthusiasm and a mighty big faith.

"[1][2][3][4] Auckland Diocese formed the City Mission of the Anglican Church and an executive committee was established with Calder employed as chair.

The Jasper Calder Charity Fund was established, and the government provided a subsidy for the doss house, which was kept open all year, with large numbers of people using it.

An emergency house was established and the night shelter was moved to a large Hobson Street building.

Governor General Lord Bledisloe visited and questions were raised in Parliament over the non-payment of the state's share of the night shelter set-up.

The Mission was ruled to be exempt from paying rates as it was recognised as a charity, and not simply a branch of the Church.

Anglican Methodist Social Services was created and the Mission vacated Holy Sepulchre Church and moved to Airedale Street.

A teenagers' home was established on Jervois Road and a women's refuge founded in Western Springs with the HELP Foundation.

The detox unit temporarily moved to Avondale and the community centre Haeata was opened at the Mission's temporary home on Union Street.

[9] In mid-August 2024, the City Mission attracted media attention after it accidentally distributed methamphetamine-laced sweets as part of a food parcel.

[10] HomeGround, the Mission's purpose-built, nine-storey building opened on Hobson Street, Central Auckland in February 2022.

[9][11] Any people in need can come to HomeGround at any time of the day to receive a loaf of bread, a hot drink, clothes, blankets or other necessities.

Some donors have been important figures in Auckland's history, including Sir Robert Kerridge, John Courts Limited, and the Ernest Hyam Davis & The Ted and Mollie Carr Endowment Trust.

Communities and individuals have also given vital support, like a Mrs Whitney who donated a house on the North Shore.

Specific ventures, like the detox unit, the HIV/AIDS house, youth work and chaplaincies received substantial government assistance.
