Support from Brethren’s Rapid Relief Team in Wairoa

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church’s Rapid Relief Team (RRT) did their bit to provide support for Civil Defence and volunteers cleaning up after the Wairoa floods. 

RRT volunteers served hundreds of burgers and sandwiches and provided water bottles. 

The charitable arm of the church also donated two pallets of food boxes to Wairoa District Council to be distributed to those affected by the flooding. 

RRT local team leader Clarke Judd said it was great to support the volunteers assisting with the clean-up and the families whose homes had been hit hard. 

“Established in 2013, the Brethren RRT have more than 14,500 volunteers around the world who provide support to communities through charitable donations and events, as well as assisting emergency services in times of disaster and crisis by providing meals and other support.
