Mainfreight is stepping in with a truck and a driver to help the Dunedin Regent Theatre collect books from residents on Sunday, April 17 for its 24-hour book sale.
Previously for more than 30 years, Coca-Cola was the truck supplier for the Regent Collection Day.
Changes to its business and driver scheduling mean Coca-Cola regretfully was unable to offer its truck this year.
Each year, between its two fundraising sales, the Regent volunteer team organises a collection day (April 17), to collect donations from Dunedin residents from sites around the city.
Mainfreight has offered the use of one of its large curtain-sided trucks to collect the donations.
The schedule for collection points on Sunday 17th April is as follows:
- 9 am – Countdown, Andersons Bay Road (by the BP)
- 10 am – Richardson Street, St Clair
- 11 am – Main Street, Green Island
- Noon – Countdown, Mornington
- 1 pm – Taieri Road by Wakari Hospital entrance
- 2 pm – Fresh Choice, Roslyn
- 3 pm – Gardens New World, NEV
Items can also be dropped off the Regent Theatre during usual business hours or to the Roslyn Mill storage facility on Kaikorai Valley Road on Sundays between 10 am and noon.
