Fire appeal moves off the streets

The annual Labour Weekend door-to-door envelope appeal for the Mahurangi East Volunteer Fire Brigade was another victim of Covid-19 last month, but the crew is still raising funds using other methods.

Collection boxes have been set up at Snells Beach Pharmacy and the Mahurangi East Library and will be in place until the end of November.

Alternatively, donations can be posted to PO Box 4, Snells Beach, 0942 or deposited direct into the brigade bank account, number 12-3105-0020458-01.

While Covid may have prevented the street appeal, it has not caused any slowdown in callouts for the Mahurangi East brigade, which has assisted at more than 200 medical, fire and road emergencies this year.

The crew said they were grateful to everyone who has supported them in the past, as well as the volunteers themselves and their employers.
