Countdown has already donated over $430,000 in food and funds to help organisations providing on-the-ground assistance and support to the most impacted communities.
The supermarket has worked alongside Civil Defence and has also delivered over 70 tonnes of water, meat, fruit, vegetables and other essentials to evacuation centres in Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay according to www.scoop.co.nz
Countdown’s Managing Director, Spencer Sonn, says that the entire Countdown team stands by the communities most affected by the recent weather events.
Customers at Woolworths and Countdown supermarkets in both Australia and New Zealand can help the communities impacted by the devastating effects of Cyclone Gabrielle with in-store fundraising. All of the money raised will go towards helping those affected by the Cyclone.
