A group of students and staff spent four hours volunteering at the Auckland City Mission on Friday.

The group prepared food, served lunch to more than 120 people, and washed the dishes.

Placement Coordinator, Anastasia Timoshkina, said the students treated the guests as friends. 

"In general, it was amazing experience. All the students felt that they contributed to the society somehow and they would love to repeat this experience."

It's the second time our students have volunteered at the Auckland City Mission. We'll return with another group at the end of November.
