The Week at Manchester Street

Keely Murphy from Red Cross Store Manchester St

So this week we have the books on sale for $1.00. With more going out.

We have a lovely wedding dress (10 - 14) on display, just what you are looking for.

Material on the front table still on going with more to come.

There is an awesome 3/4 bed complete with boxed Trundler underneath. This is in great condition.

WE NEED FURNITURE!!!! If you have any that you are wanting to donate please do not hesitate to contact us and we can collect from you 03 3652 051.

A big shout out to the our Red Cross First Response Teams up north and all the work they do.

Just a little information for the readers - The proceeds from our stores across the country go directly to our First Response teams so that they can do what they do in times like those that we are facing at the moment.

If you are wanting to donate there are 3 ways:

Cash Donation on Line redcross.org.nz
Cash Donation within the store
Saleable goods donated to the stores and these sold as mentioned this going to our teams.

And of course by shopping with us you are not only helping with the course but also recycling.

Please note: We are NOT transporting donated goods to the affected areas.

Look forward to seeing you all.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
