Ukraine donation

For the month of May, when Greytown MeNZ Shed’s mends or makes for the community, they’ll also help the Red Cross to help Ukrainians in great need.

Greytown MeNZ Shed came up with a way to try to help thousands of brave, innocent Ukrainians left homeless, hungry, cold, injured or having lost parents and loved ones as a result of the destruction of their homes, towns and villages caught up in the invasion by Russia.

Tom Bateman, Chair of Greytown MeNZ Shed said “We’ve always helped out on community projects and our wonderful institutions like pre-schools, schools, amenities and health service providers. This time we thought we’d try to stretch a little further and help people doing it tough further afield. 

The idea is to help us to help you and help them too.  Come and talk to us and bring us your mending, sharpening and making projects, for us to try to complete during May. Traditionally when the job is done, we ask if you’d like to make a donation to keep the shed running and beautify our campus but this time we’ll pass it on to the International Red Cross Ukraine appeal – who need it more than we do right now”

The Sheddies will pass on 100% of the “thankyou” donations on to the International Red Cross appeal for Ukraine.  The sheddies also welcome materials they can use to make and mend.

Greytown MeNZ Shed is at 85-87 West Street, Greytown and is open any Wednesday or Saturday morning between 9 and 12.  We are an inclusive community style shed welcoming everybody.
