Street Appeal Support Stays Strong

Home About Us News Street Appeal Support Stays Strong
With the support of hundreds of dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our community, we have again managed to raise a total of $32,247.34 during this year’s street appeal.

Despite the bad weather, challenging economic times for many, and some internal personnel changes, we raised more than last year. A truly impressive achievement that shows the special place Otago Community Hospice occupies for so many.

An extra thank you goes out to our Street Appeal Coordinators across Otago, many that have been supporting the appeal for years. Thank you also to everyone who worked so hard with us to organise everything behind the scenes, including our drivers, corporate supporters, staff members and ANZ for doing the counting.

It is incredible that our community can raise this kind of money in just two days. We have another ambitious fundraising target this year, and every little bit helps us to support the incredible work of the Hospice across the region.

See below photos of some of our star volunteers out and about across the region during the appeal.
