Hi all, Raewyn (New Brighton Lead).

I know everywhere is taking items to go to Kaikoura but here in New Brighton we are also donating so if any of you know someone that is not on Facebook - please send this to them. Below is a list of things that will be going to Kaikoura - there are around 7 helicopters going tomorrow:-

Eastsiders - remember back in February 2011 when the people of New Zealand humbled us with their support, kindness and love? Well, now it's time to pay that kindness forward.

In conjunction with the response by Miss Lilly's in Rangiora, there are helicopters heading north for the next couple of days and we want to fill them with goodness.

WHAT WE NEED:
FOOD. Baking, canned good, non-perishable food supplies, pet food. Please LABEL any baked goods with ingredients to help us cater for people with food allergies (or if you are specifically baking for a particular allergy, please label your goods).
PET FOOD: animals are important too. cat food and dog food please. Also budgies, rabbits - you name it!
TEA/COFFEE/COCOA: anything that will help here including sugar, UHT milk or powder, etc
NAPPIES: Any kind of nappies would be appreciated
SANITARY ITEMS: Ladies, the women up north are going to get a bit desperate, so pads, tampons, and the like will be gratefully appreciated. Also, HAND SANITISER if we can get it...we ALL know how important that stuff is!!!

WHERE TO TAKE IT:
There will be a number of drop off points for you:
**BIN INN New Brighton: you can drop off there between 9-5pm today and tomorrow (Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th)
**THE COFFEE GUY: The gorgeous Charlotte has offered her place for drop offs after 3pm and she will deliver directly to Rangiora for us. 16a Sinclair Street today after 3pm please :)
**THE WHALE POOL Park: Yes, the container BBQ in the square between New Brighton Library and the Whale Pool - you can drop off there tomorrow (Wednesday) from 8.00 -9.00am and 2-3.30pm
