Ports of Auckland has donated $42,265 to support the work of Mike King’s mental health charity I Am Hope.
The money was raised by its port employees in recognition of the good work the charity provides.
It is currently on the ground providing counselling services and clothing to those in the Gisborne and Hawkes Bay communities impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle and other recent weather events.
“We had a number of port workers who wanted to offer support to those affected in Gisborne and Hawkes Bay, so alongside Maritime Union of New Zealand, we provided an easy way for our people to directly support those in need,” Ports of Auckland says.
In December last year, Mack Trucks NZ also handed over a cheque to the charity, raising $13,500 through auctions and raffles at its celebration marking 50 years of the truck brand in New Zealand.
