The wonderful team at Farmers Ashburton raised an amazing $4,047.82 in their Christmas hospice campaign. Thank you to Grant and the team for all of your hard work during the campaign, and to all of the generous donors. The funds will be shared between Hospice Mid Canterbury and Nurse Maude to support people in the Mid Canterbury district who are dealing with a life-limiting illness.
Nationally Farmers stores raised a total of $765,619 for hospices throughout New Zealand. Thank you! 😊❤️
Well done and so deserved to this wonderful charity that helps so many people with life limiting illness.
