The reality of homelessness in our country is hard to ignore. A recent study from Otago University found that the homeless population in New Zealand was over 40,000. For those thousands living rough, there is an ever-growing need for basic necessities, such as food, clothing and shelter.

ASICS partnered with Auckland City Mission and Christchurch City Mission in their Give Back campaign, helping those less fortunate by donating unused shoes throughout Auckland and Christchurch.
