Red Cross needs collectors
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.
