Lots of people have been asking how they can help out, so here you go, here is a list. If you can give, even if it is just a small amount - please do.
Cash donations:
Donate to the Rangiora Earthquake Express - they are getting as much help as they can to Christchurch residents by chopper. Go here to their fund raising page or here to see their website.
A Mayoral fund has been set up for donations to the citizens of Christchurch using the following BNZ bank account: 02-0800-084958-000.
Donate to the Red Cross or alternatively text a message of hope to 4419 to donate $3 (text works with all mobile network providers in NZ.
Donate to the Salvation Army.
Dontate to the Canterbury SPCA via this form right here.
To help all of the pets and animals affected by the earthquake you can text 'FOOD' to 4662 to donate $3 to the Paw Justice animal food bank.
Volunteers:
The University of Canterbury Students Association is inviting people to join the student volunteer army once again (they are freaking awesome!).
Volunteers should arrive at the UCSA car park on Ilam Road between 9am and 10am and bring shovels, wheelbarrows, gloves, raincoats, sunblock, drink bottles. Find out more about the StudentVolunteerArmy on Facebook.
Phones:
Telecom is collecting corded phones to distribute to those who need them. The phones can be dropped in to any Telecom store during retail opening hours.
Accommodation:
If you have a spare room and can host Christchurch residents traveling to Auckland to escape the disaster for a while you can call 0800 AUCKLAND to register for billeting. The service will match your facilities with a deserving Cantabrian. Welcoming someone to your home is a very human way to help.
Wellingtonians who can offer accommodation to displaced ChCh peeps by calling 04 801 4205 or emailing CD.Welfare@wcc.govt.nz with details.
Habitat for Humanity is appealing people in Canterbury with space to place listings on www.shelter.org.nz.
