Welcome to the Wellington City Mission

The Wellington City Mission has been supporting people and families in the Wellington region for 120 years.

The Mission offers support through a range of services. Our services include transitional housing, food support through our Social Supermarket, and a comprehensive and integrated network of support services based at Whakamaru in Mount Cook.

We are are open to anyone who needs assistance, regardless of circumstance or background. We strive to deliver our services in a mana-enhancing way, to contribute to the empowerment, transformation, and fullness of life for those we serve, so that together, we can create positive outcomes.
