Friday, April 19, is Poppy Day.

On this day Howick RSA has been fundraising for many years by selling poppies.

Hard working RSA volunteers exchange distinctive red poppies for a donation towards the Poppy Appeal.

All funds raised go towards the RSAโ€™s vital support work, which can include financial support, advocacy, transportation, and access to a strong network of people who have been through similar experiences.

โ€œWe are a small group of volunteers organising this important day and to make it as successful as possible we would love to have more volunteers involved in the following roles โ€“ collectors who will be available for a few hours on Poppy Day, Friday, April 19, for collecting at various locations around east Auckland from 8.30am to 4.30pm,โ€ a spokesperson said.

Collectors are also needed for the Howick Market on Saturday, April 13 and Saturday, April 20, from 7.30am to 1pm.

โ€œThis year it would be great to share our collection tables with veterans in uniform to represent the importance of honouring the sacrifice they have made and the symbol of the red poppy and its national significance.โ€

โ€œCoordinators are also needed to help organise Poppy Day for a few hours a week, from now until Poppy Day.

โ€œRoles include dropping collection boxes to schools, rest homes and local businesses, and picking them up again.

โ€œThere is also a transportation role for someone with a car and trailer or a light truck.

โ€œWe need a couple of reliable people to drop collection tables and chairs to various locations around east Auckland, and pick them up again later in the day, or the following day.โ€

Money raised will go towards veteransโ€™ welfare.

Contact welfare@howickrsa.co.nz or 027 270 8642 if you can assist with volunteering this year.
