We are going to do something a little different for November’s Caffeine & Classics; this month, we are having a collection for the Auckland City Mission. It’s entirely optional whether you wish to be involved, but we thought it would be nice to do something charitable from Caffeine & Classics prior to Christmas.

For those of you that are not familiar with the Auckland City Mission, they provide food parcels to thousands of Auckland families that struggle to put food on the table and also feed thousands of people in “crisis” through their centres in Auckland City and Otahuhu . They also provide bulk food supplies to 60 community agencies and foodbanks from Thames to Kaitaia.
Obviously Christmas is their busiest time of year so it would be good to do as much as we can to help them.

It is not compulsory to contribute, and we are NOT asking you to do a special shop for this but maybe raid your pantry for some spare items that can go towards this great cause. If you prefer not to be involved, that’s fine – Caffeine & Classics will still provide your monthly fix of cool vehicles and great coffee, so please come along even if you aren’t involved in the donation to Auckland City Mission.

There will be a collection point at Caffeine & Classics, and at approximately 12:00 noon on the day we’ll do a convoy from Smales Farm to Auckland City Mission’s Hobson Street address to drop off the donated goods – all vehicles are welcome to join us on this convoy, the more the better!

Please note, donations need to be “non-perishable” items. Some ideas include: tins of baked beans or spaghetti, sweet corn, canned fruit, flour, sugar, salt, tea bags, rice, pasta, etc . . . I’m sure you all get the idea! Anything non-perishable will be greatly appreciated.
What do ya reckon people - let’s help Auckland City Mission make a difference this Christmas!

I know it wont be Honda friendly, but I wouldn't mind the cruising along.

It is Honda friendly and you are more than welcome to attend. Besides, one of the best things about the oldschool line-up is the totally random group of cars we show up in!

Our apologies folks; the “delivery convoy” we were planning to run after this Sunday’s event has to be cancelled due to a clash with the Santa Parade. Although personally we think a bunch of classic vehicles would be a great addition to any parade, we don’t feel comfortable organising a convoy into the city when we know there will be the potential for grid-lock (well, more grid-lock than usual!).

Of course, the Auckland City Mission collection at Caffeine & Classics is still going ahead and as we won’t be leaving early to do the delivery there’s more time now for people to drop their donations off! And the good folks at NZ Classic Car and NZV8 have volunteered secure overnight storage at their facility so we’ve organised with the Auckland City Mission to do the delivery on Monday morning instead. We’ll have a photographer on hand to capture the moment so we’ll add those photos to the monthly album of all the cars at this Sunday’s Caffeine & Classics, to be uploaded next week.

Once again, we’re sorry everybody that we can’t do the convoy, but Caffeine & Classics is still on and so is the Auckland City Mission collection so please make sure you’ve all got it in your diaries!

Caffeine & Classics is on tomorrow morning everyone, and it’s set to be a cracker. The weather is shaping up nicely (as usual for us), we’ll have a mobile coffee machine in the car park, plus we’ll have the collection for Auckland City Mission happening. If you plan to contribute something from your pantry for the Auckland City Mission, please look out for the collection point. We’ll have a trailer there for accepting all donations of non-perishable food and any other items.

Get your motors ready, this Caffeine & Classics is shaping up to be our best one yet!
