Volunteer - Retail assistant
Want to lend a helping hand in your community? New Zealand Red Cross urgently needs volunteers to join the wonderful Red Cross Shop[s] in Nelson and Richmond.
There are more than 50 Red Cross shops nationwide, and they are a win-win for everyone. They let communities access affordable pre-loved goods, divert items from landfill, help volunteers gain work experience and training, and the funds from shop sales enable New Zealand Red Cross to continue doing vital humanitarian work.
Volunteer retail assistants help both their community and the environment as they help people find the right pre-loved item to take home. The role also involves restocking and merchandising the shop and helping unpack and sort donated goods. Training is provided, and you can even earn retail qualifications as you volunteer. If you have at least four hours of your time to contribute for a morning or afternoon shift each and a heart for making a difference, this is the volunteer role for you!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
