Collectors Sought To Help Animals

SAFE national street appeal against animal cruelty

SAFE is now calling for hundreds of volunteers to help collect during its annual street appeal on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 December 2010.

“It only takes a few hours of raising money to help save the lives of maltreated animals,” says SAFE appeal organiser Sacha Dowell. “Collecting for SAFE is a fun and rewarding way to give something back at a time of year when animals are often forgotten.”

Volunteers around the country are already registering to collect but the organisation needs well over 1400 collectors if it is to reach its target of $350,000. Money raised over the two days will be used to fund campaigns and humane education projects in 2011.

A huge variety of colourful animal costumes will be available and collectors are encouraged to join SAFE’s new ‘Sponsor a Collector’ scheme to maximise their efforts. All collectors go into a draw to win a cruelty-free hamper worth over $500.

To volunteer as a SAFE collector please register online at www.safe.org.nz
or call 0800 SAVE US.
