KidsCan has launched an urgent appeal for donations to help the record number of children it says need support, with the charity saying whanau are at breaking point.
It's now helping to feed more than 49,000 children every day, as the cost of living reaches record levels.
The appeal comes a day after a south Auckland foodbank was robbed of about $10,000 worth of food on Sunday afternoon.
Hurimoana Dennis is the chair of Te Puea Memorial Marae, which supports whanau in Tamaki Makaurau with food parcels and other social services.
