Urgent volunteering needs
Can you help us? At certain times, we experience a shortage in volunteer numbers for particular roles. To address this critical need, we're urgently looking to increase the number of people volunteering across the motu.
Volunteer Retail Assistant: As a volunteer retail assistant, you’ll help create a welcoming environment for our customers. You’ll do day-to-day tasks that help the shop run smoothly, and serve customers in a friendly, professional way.

Volunteer Meals on Wheels Driver: Our Meals on Wheels service supports older, ill, and disabled people living at home who would otherwise struggle to provide healthy meals for themselves. We need volunteers keen to deliver hot meals and a friendly chat, to people in need across New Zealand.
Disaster Welfare and Support Team Volunteer: Disaster Welfare and Support Team members are highly committed, skilled volunteers who provide welfare assistance to people affected by emergencies and disasters. Team members will undertake most of their training and work in their local area but may be mobilised to support New Zealand Red Cross’ response to an emergency event elsewhere in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Branch Treasurer: Help ensure responsible and accurate management of branch funds. A branch treasurer makes sure that their branch manages its money properly. They work closely with the branch president and secretary.
Curtain Bank Volunteer: Keeping homes warm with appropriate curtains is essential to maintaining health and wellbeing. Our curtain bank volunteers use their skills to help people living in cold houses by providing curtains to families and individuals in the community who don't have the resources to purchase them.
