Red Cross needs collectors

- SUPPLIED

Are you happy, enthusiast­ic and motivated to help make a difference? Two hours or more of your time can make a big difference. Help collect for our local appeal and support Red Cross Do Good in your area

The time commitment is usually two to fourhour shifts. Hours and times are flexible depending on your availabili­ty.

The supermarke­ts in New Plymouth are booked from 11am - 7pm between March 29-31. Are you free to help collect at one of these?

Or does roving the streets with a red bucket appeal more? On Friday 31 is the official street appeal and there are more willing helpers needed.

You will be collecting donations from the public and handing out Thank You stickers.

New Zealand Red Cross is an organisati­on involved both globally, nationally and especially within our local communitie­s and is known as the First In and Last Out team.

It has a proud history of helping those in need throughout the world. During WWII, the New Zealand Red Cross sent more than one million food parcels overseas.

From being prepared and responding to disasters, like our recent Kaikoura earthquake­s. Red Cross also gives free first-aid training in schools, Meals on Wheels, and Breakfast in Schools. There are more than 15000 Red Cross volunteers and members throughout New Zealand.

Training and support will be provided by a New Zealand Red Cross volunteer co-ordinator. If you are interested please contact Marie at Volunteeri­ng New Plymouth, phone (06)758-8986, text 027 541 0577 or email npvsnz@yahoo.co.nz for further details.
