Donations needed!
We are very excited to announce that we are opening a new Red Cross Shop at 83A Tristram Street in Hamilton CBD and we’ll be there for you 7 days a week.
We are looking for donations of pre-loved, good quality, summer clothing, homewares and furniture that you are willing to recycle for good.
So, why not give your surplus quality items a new lease of life with Red Cross? Call us on (07) 846 0492 or send an email to shop.hamiltonCBD@redcross.org.nz to arrange a pick-up, or drop-off time and we’ll find someone to re-love them for you.
Many thanks for your help😊

Did you submit on the city council's long-term plan?
Hamiltonians have spoken out on the council’s budget plans with the city’s massive proposed rates hike a lightning rod for residents already struggling with rising costs.
With more than 3000 submissions landing on the Hamilton City Council’s Draft Long Term Plan the hot topic is unsurprisingly the proposed 19.9% rise, which itself lands in a cost of living crisis and limping economy.
