Christchurch Earthquake 22 February 2011 Bishops’ Emergency Appeal
The Archbishops and Bishops of the province have launched an appeal to help the Diocese of Christchurch and Te Hui Amorangi Te Waipounamu in their ministry, care and support to their people and parishes and communities affected by the 22 February Christchurch earthquake.
The Anglican Diocese of Wellington will be managing, on behalf of “the province”, the processing of all donations to this appeal.
All donations will qualify as a “Charitable Donation” and (provided the correct procedure for making the donation is followed) then you will receive an acknowledgement of your donation, and the appropriate receipt, by mail.
Donations can be made in several ways:

Please make your cheque out to “Bishops Appeal” or “Bishops CHCH Appeal”

Through your local Parish:
The local parish will collect and receive donations from its parishioners
The local parish will issue you a receipt with their charities commission number on it and you can then claim the appropriate tax rebate.
