Cyclone Gabrielle has had a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of Kiwis. As the long cleanup begins and support becomes more and more needed, Stuff is calling for readers to support the Red Cross and Mayoral Relief Funds in areas where a state of emergency has been declared.

On Friday 3 March we are holding a school mufti day to raise support for those devasted by the flooding. Please donate via the options below (do not send money to school).

Donate to Cyclone Gabrielle 

You can donate money to the Cyclone Gabrielle Appeal Fund in the following ways:

• Visit cycloneappeal.govt.nz and donate by debit or credit card
  
• Text GIVE to 2454 to donate $3. 

All funds donated will be allocated by the Government to areas affected by Cyclone Gabrielle and be paid out to those in need.

To support the All-of-Government response and recovery efforts, we are sharing factsheets from the Ministry of Social Development about Civil Defence payments and the Community Support Package. 

If your families and friends have been affected by Cyclone Gabrielle or the North Island floods we want you to distribute these factsheets through our community networks.
