The Red Cross Hamilton Service Centre will be holding a street collection in March 2019 - and we need your help! It only takes an hour or two to make a big difference.
It's very rewarding for you to be able to get out into your community, meeting and greeting people, encouraging them to donate, knowing that you're doing good too by supporting a great cause.
The time commitment is flexible, depending on your availability. Easy to use Tap & Go terminals will be available in some areas to accept card donations; training will be provided to collectors.
Express your interest by signing up by clicking at the link below. You could also add a fundraising partner. It would be great if everyone could work in pairs, it makes the day go quicker, you have someone to talk to and you can share the items that you carry.
Please feel free to forward this information on to friends and families or your work place to encourage people to volunteer their time.

Thank you for your consideration.

Want a Slice of Convenience?

Mainland NZ

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
