Red Cross Annual Appeal 2020

The Team from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

Our annual street appeal is happening from 16-22 March 2020. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It not only helps us to continue the work we do but also raises awareness of the supportive services we provide.

Street collecting is a wonderful and fun way for you to be a part of something bigger. Meet and greet people in your community and encourage them to donate to a great cause. By donating your time, you’re making a real difference in people’s lives. It’s up to you when you want to volunteer - the time commitment is flexible, depending on your availability.

We are currently looking for volunteers that are available from Thursday 19th to Saturday 21st March in Hastings, Havelock North, Taradale and Napier. We are also looking for businesses and/or groups that may be able to take a site for a block of time.

Sign up today through the New Zealand Red Cross website by clicking on the "Read More" button under this text and your local Red Cross Appeal Coordinator will be in touch.

Thank you for your support.
