New Zealand Red Cross November 2016 Earthquake Appeal
We believe that when we each do a little bit of good, together we make a big difference - from a morning tea in your office, to a mufti day at school or a donation box on your counter, below are some practical ways you can make a difference.
We know many Kiwis want to help those impacted by these strong quakes so we have launched a special appeal to respond to and support the affected communities. A great, fun and rewarding way to help is by fundraising for the appeal. Do it on your own or get together with your work colleagues, family or friends and raise some funds for the people affected by the earthquakes.
Simply decide what you'd like to do, create a fundraising page (click on the red button on the right) and have fun fundraising!
