Trade store supports Fiji rebuild project
HORNBY Mitre 10 MEGA and
The Salvation Army are working
together to get much-needed
building supplies to cyclone
damaged regions of Fiji.
The DIY and trade retailer has
co-ordinated with its suppliers
to provide roofing iron at a discounted
rate for The
Salvation Army’s Fiji rebuild
projects.
Mitre 10 MEGA Hornby
director Murray Smith said a
lot of the credit goes to
suppliers Roofing Industries
NZ and NZ Steel for coming
through with the lowest price
possible.
“It really was a team effort,
with everyone wanting to
pitch in and do our part to help
the rebuild efforts,” said Mr
Smith.
The Salvation Army has been
given $20,000 dollars in relief
aid by corporate partners to assist
in the rebuilding of a cyclone
affected region in Fiji.
“Roofing iron is in very short
supply in Fiji at present. This
shipment will be used to rebuild
family homes in a number
of the worst affected towns
and villages,” Salvation Army
Public Relations Director Shane
Chisholm said.
The organisation will also take
an additional 1000m of roofing
iron due to support from Mitre
10 MEGA Hornby.
