Donate now to help us stock our warehouse so we can be prepared to fill a New Zealand Red Cross shipping container – a beautiful gift box – with essential supplies that can save lives in a disaster.

When you support New Zealand Red Cross, you are bringing the practical spirit of humanity wherever the need is greatest. Your generous donation can improve the lives of those who have been impacted by conflict, disasters and emergencies around the world – and often here at home. You support former refugees as they arrive in Aotearoa New Zealand needing to build new lives after being displaced from their own lands. You help the most vulnerable, such as those who cannot maintain their own nutrition, whether through age, illness or disability, through Meals on Wheels deliveries.

In this season of giving, while many of us look forward to a summer break, it is crucial that we remain prepared, because disasters don’t take holidays.

Help us stock our warehouse so that when a disaster strikes, we can fill a beautiful gift box – a New Zealand Red Cross shipping container – with essential supplies that save lives, such as $5 water containers; $6 mosquito nets; $10 blankets; $28 tarpaulins; and $61 tool kits.

We also need your help to train International Delegates like Dallas Roy, who worked as the operations manager for the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in Papua New Guinea, supporting the Papua New Guinea Red Cross team in providing humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable survivors after the deadly landslide on 24 May.

Help us be prepared to respond, when the next disaster strikes. Please donate now.

All donations over $5 are tax deductible, so you can claim 33.3% back from IRD.

Thank you for your generosity in helping us be fully prepared to help where the need is greatest.
