Goods Donations
Many of the donation centres have been overwhelmed with the generosity of the community, especially in providing clothing and bedding. They are asking people to hold these donations for now. But there is still a requirement for non-perishable food, water and fuel.
Large volume donations of non-perishable food and fuel (truckloads or Pallets) can be delivered to Tomoana Showgrounds. Please email logistics@hbemergency.gov.nz to coordinate.
For smaller volumes of non-perishable food donations please take them to local charities via usual goods donation channels (churches, marae, community groups). Also keep an eye on local community pages as they are posting specific requests for those unable to access supplies.
Nourished for Nil collects and redistributes fresh, packaged and frozen food at four locations across Napier and Hastings and welcomes financial and foodstuffs donations. Please check their requirements before dropping off foodstuffs.

Smith & Sheth are organising consolidated deliveries to Nourished for Nil. If you would like to contribute non-perishable goods (canned foods, pasta, rice, long life/powdered milk etc) and household items (sanitary products, tooth paste, shampoo etc) please drop items off at the Smith & Sheth Oenothèque or head office in Havelock North.

Hastings Racecourse (with the help of HUHANZ and the SPCA) has become a refuge for animals big and small to shelter and be reunited with their owners. They are welcoming all animal supply donations but are in particular need of old towels that can be used to help clean up the animals being brought in.
