Last minute Xmas Pressie

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

We are down to our last 30 Cat Rescue Calendars for the 2019 year so if you have that crazy cat family member, friend or just someone you want to reward for being an amazing animal advocate, they are available for sale at the Catnap Café on Columbo Street just down from 'the Columbo" in … View moreWe are down to our last 30 Cat Rescue Calendars for the 2019 year so if you have that crazy cat family member, friend or just someone you want to reward for being an amazing animal advocate, they are available for sale at the Catnap Café on Columbo Street just down from 'the Columbo" in Sydenham.

A great place to drop into and unwind with the serenity of 15 cats and kittens, after doing your last minute Xmas Shopping in town. Not open on Monday and you might want to go to their facebook page and pre book as I am sure they will be super popular next week.

They also have a lot of Cat Rescue made crafts for cats and humans which make one off/unique last minute presents.

Thanks for reading. All profits from above go to vet bills in this buzy kitten and desexing season.

The council says several sports clubs are interested in the park, and Cashmere Technical Football Club and Lancaster Park Cricket Club have made formal requests to use the land.

Recycling Man’s - Fundraising Tour of the South Island for Delta Community Support Trust Food Bank.

I Started tomorrow afternoon to Ashburton and on Sunday to Oamaru. Everyday i'll up date and put photos of the cycle trip of end of the day. Thanks to everyone for your support and comment and prayers , Merry Christmas.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO YOUR FRIENDS AND GIVEALITTE TO DELTA COMMUNITY SUPPORT TRUST FOOD BANK www.givealittle.co.nz...

Delta Community Support Trust is most appreciative of Matthew’s offer to cycle around the South Island to raise awareness of food security issues among low income people.

Matthew regularly collects and provides canned food and other goods to Delta and other charities. This provides much needed support to people struggling to make ends meet. For more information about his work please see his Facebook page. www.facebook.com... and the following article. www.stuff.co.nz...

Delta is a Christian community development agency working in Richmond and surrounding suburbs. We use the food provided by Matthew to help feed people in need. We do this mainly through a Food Bank through which we distribute 1400 parcels a year, and a low cost community meal that provides 2800 two course dinners a year. We are a registered Charity (Charity Number CC21084) For more information about us please see www.deltatrust.org.nz...

If you could consider supporting us either through giving cans, or by cash that would be much appreciated. For the latter this is most easily done through our givealittle page www.givealittle.co.nz.... Please include the words ‘recyclingman’ with your donation.

Thanks again to Matthew for this huge effort to help people in need.

Thank you also so much for considering supporting us.
Yours Sincerely,
Ian Burn
Services Coordinator / CEO
