LIFE Community was established here in New Zealand as a charitable trust in 2008 as an initiative of LIFE Church.  We have a clear mission - to bring help and hope to our community so that we can reverse the cycle of poverty.  

Our focus is on four key areas - food response, education, employment and homes for the intellectual disabled. Through these, we are able to meet whanau and individuals right where they gather, so that we can meet their immediate needs through the provision of food, essential products and support.
