Cyclone Gabrielle Relief: Our Urgent Response

CYCLONE GABRIELLE RELIEF – OUR RESPONSE

As part of the Lower North Island Community of Learning (LNICOL) – Kāhui Ako, Cornerstone Christian School has the opportunity, along with other schools in the LNICOL, to serve and assist Hastings Christian School with their efforts during this extremely difficult time.  Hastings Christian School are assisting in feeding a large team of 120 Emergency Response workers at Riverbend Camp and due to food in the supermarkets being in short supply in the area, they are running very low on food to feed those who are helping on the ground.

CCS will be purchasing and delivering food supplies directly to Hastings Christian School and Riverbend Camp.   Our first delivery will be for this Thursday 23rd February, with another early next week.

You can help by:

  • Donating funds to this account: LNICS Cyclone Relief    02-0727-0154852-02 (Ref: Cyclone relief)
  • Signing up for specific food items from the list available at the school office (should be available by Wednesday 8.45am)

Food to be dropped off to the staffroom, courtside entrance by Wednesday 3pm

  • Getting in touch with Rebecca Jorgensen if you can spare some time to help sort and organise the food to be transported: 356 7326 extn 6102

Your donated funds will go directly to purchasing grocery supplies for this particular effort and any excess funds received will assist Hastings Christian School in providing for their community or will be donated to an approved relief organisation if/when HSC no longer needs the funds.

The bank account provided is an official Cornerstone Christian School account and is subject to audits.  Please note that ALL funds donated will go directly to Cyclone Gabrielle relief efforts.
