Fresh Future Children's Hospital Appeal
Through your help FreshChoice Supermarkets and the Fresh Future Appeal has donated over $3 million to 10 dedicated children's hospitals and wards throughout New Zealand.
From 2nd August until the 31st October 2010 you can support the appeal by making a donation at the checkout, buying a raffle ticket or contributing in the many other events happening at your local FreshChoice supermarket.
Together we can help give sick kids a Fresh Future.

Kidz First, home of the National Burns Centre, received the largest contribution because the centre serves the whole country for serious burns. Otago Hospital was able to purchase a baby flight incubator with the funds donated from the Fresh Future Appeal. Other children's wards have had medical equipment such as scanners and monitors donated while other wards have needed equipment to make for some children a long stay in hospital more comfortable.
