Progressive Enterprises collecting donations

Progressive Enterprises’ collecting donations for Christchurch earthquake appeal

Progressive Enterprises is donating $100,000 to the Christchurch earthquake fund to assist with the rebuilding of the city and supporting people as the attempt to re-establish their lives.

Customers are also able to contribute donations to the earthquake fund at any Countdown, Woolworths, Foodtown, SuperValue or FreshChoice store throughout New Zealand.

All donations will be passed on to the Salvation Army and will be tax deductable.

While damage to Canterbury stores and the distribution centre was extensive, groceries are being transported from the Auckland distribution centres to the South Island stores, and are operating 24 hours per day to dispatch deliveries.

Some stores experienced further minor damage following the large aftershock this morning, however all stores are now open for business.
