Zealand who need your help right now.
Organising your own fundraiser
Making a donation
By making a donation now to our New Zealand
Disaster Fund, you will help us continue to be
there for those impacted by the deadly Cyclone
Gabrielle across Aotearoa New Zealand, and be
prepared to give life-changing assistance to those
impacted by the next emergency we face. Thank
you for supporting in any way you can.
Avoid donating goods
We are not collecting clothes or goods, as sorting,
managing and distributing donated items during an
emergency takes an extensive amount of time and
resources. With people needing emergency
supplies immediately, the best, most efficient way
you can help make sure the right assistance
reaches them when they need it most is by making
a monetary donation. By donating money, you
make sure local communities get help in the most
effective way.
Becoming a future volunteer
We follow the direction of lead agencies when
responding to an emergency. We only deploy
appropriately trained Red Cross people as disaster
welfare support volunteers.
Many of our Disaster Welfare and Support Teams
are on the lookout for new members. This involves
applying and training for the role, which means you
won't be able to assist with the current emergency,
but you can help us get ready for the next one.
