Let's show that PF1ers are generous for this very worthy cause.

CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE APPEAL: Call 0900 RED CROSS (0900 733 27) to make a $20 donation (NZ Residents). This is legit - it appeared on TV ONE this morning and the phone number is on the Red Cross website. You have about 5 seconds to hang up, otherwise your phone bill will show a $20 charge as your Red Cross donation.

If you are not in NZ, click on this Red Cross link (www.redcross.org.nz)

1181944 2011-02-28 01:08:00 Made a donation via online banking.

Probably make another on payday, and I'll spend up on Lotto tickets this week.

1181946 2011-02-28 01:58:00 Had already sent a donation via Internet banking. Snorkbox (15764)
1181947 2011-02-28 02:14:00 Already done online. Thanks for the hint though. Pato (2463)
1181948 2011-02-28 02:49:00 We have donated through other channels several times and will probably do so again.
Salvation Army are another reputable group accepting donations through various centres.

1181949 2011-02-28 02:54:00 I went out this am and bought two banana boxes full of fruit, veges, and bread and dropped it off at the depot in Rangiora where they are doing the food run (three helicopters full time shuttling hot meals to ChCh). We are dropping off spare bedding as well. It seemed a good idea at the time rather than donating money, but it remains to be seen what they would prefer. John H (8)
1181950 2011-02-28 03:29:00 Done, good idea if your in the area john.

I'm definitely going to try that one!!

No one ever phones for me - I just pick up the phone and say "<<SWIMBO's name>>'s answering service. How may I help". She goes ballistic when she overhears it! :banana
