What are you doing this weekend…? 🤩
March is Red Cross Appeal month. During March, we raise funds to enable us to deliver services to the most vulnerable people in our communities. Services such as delivering Meals on Wheels, helping to settle new Kiwi's in Aotearoa New Zealand and training our Disaster Response volunteers to support with rescue and recovery during a disaster.... and more.
This year we are doing our appeal a bit differently and we need your help! Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and the Red Traffic Light settings we can’t go ahead with our physical street collection so instead, we are partnering with www.Chooza.com... to bring you our "List, Sell, Give Hope!" campaign.
It’s easy! You list it, someone else buys it and together you give hope by supporting New Zealand Red Cross. With your help, we can continue to support those most vulnerable in our communities when they need it most!
So, this weekend why not find some items lying around home that you have been meaning to rehome or donate to charity and add them to Chooza. New or pre-loved, if it is worth $14.99 or more you can find a new home for it and support New Zealand Red Cross at the same time.
With every item listed you will get a donation receipt for the sale price that you can claim back as a taxable donation, so it is a win-win-win situation.
