Beyond the bustling streets of Auckland, lies the East City Corps Salvation Army. It has served the Howick community since 1987. The East City Corps Salvation Army operated from a community center on Wellington Street. It offered various services, including a food bank and weekly worship. The food bank operated twice a week, providing a crucial resource for local families. The East City Corps Salvation Army’s presence extended beyond its walls. They hosted events and ran programs for various age groups. Sadly, in March 2025, the East City Corps Salvation Army closed its doors in Howick. This marked the end of nearly four decades of service. The decision came from the Salvation Army headquarters in Wellington. It was due to unsustainable operations at the Howick location. While the Howick branch closed, the Salvation Army continues to serve the greater Auckland area. They remain committed to their mission of helping those in need throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand. The East City Corps Salvation Army’s legacy in Howick is a testament to their dedication. They provided support and community for almost 40 years.
