Volunteers needed for our Annual Street Day Appeal
- 19 Oct 2010
- Wellington SPCA
- Can you support Wellington SPCA? Our Annual Appeal Street Collection is just over three weeks away and we need your help! Because we don’t recieve any direct government funding, the donations we receive from our supporters are really vital to us and allow us to continue with our work. Last year we raised a record $52,000 and it would be simply fantastic if we could beat that record this year. We will be collecting on Friday 12th November in Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti and on Saturday 13th November in Lower Hutt. We’ve heaps of places available for volunteers on the day – you can collect for an hour or two or be a coordinator looking after a team of collectors at a particular site. If you want to support Wellington SPCA – this a great way to get involved. Please contact Trina at Trinah@wellingtonspca.org.nz or phone her on 04 389 8044 ext 816. Thank you!!
