into Tomoana Showgrounds in Hawke’s Bay
Volunteers at the Tomoana Showgrounds include teachers with no schoolkids to teach, students with no classes to attend and families happy to help out.
As donations roll in, their job is to co-ordinate, sort and prepare them for the most remote and in-need communities in Hawke’s Bay, in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle.
“All these people have been co-ordinated by volunteers in Hawke’s Bay, and we’ve got members from the public coming in and bringing goods,” said volunteer Megan Nicholson.
“We’re grateful for anything. At the moment I would say anything that’s gratefully received would include sanitary items, cleaning products, toothpaste and we’re always open to bedding, toys, anything that we can take out to the kids that have lost everything.”
