Howick Village Association has received a huge response from the local community for its call for a collection for flood relief in Hawkes Bay.
Donations have been flowing steadily into the offices [behind the Howick War Memorial Hall (Howick Information Service Centre)]. “More donations are being received each day,” Howick Village Association manager Jane Newbury said.
“We have received a huge response to our food drive for the families impacted by the floods/Cyclone Gabrielle in Hawkes Bay.
“Yesterday, we delivered four trailers of goods to the container at Clayton Truck Services/PTS Logistics in East Tamaki for dispatch to Hawkes Bay tomorrow [February 24].
All donations received from the community from today until Sunday, February 26 will be dispatched to Northland and Port Waikato families, through the Kindness Collective.
“The generosity from our community for this project has been overwhelming,” Newbury said.
