Postie+ customers help support Kiwi Kids this Christmas

Postie+ customers help support Kiwi Kids this Christmas


Auckland, 17 December, 2015 - Postie+ CEO, Henry Lee and staff visited Finlayson Park School this week to donate 700 items of new season clothes thanks to the Postie+One initiative. An additional $55,000 of fundraising has been collected via the KidsCan Christmas Crackers available in Postie+ stores nationwide to date in the lead up to Christmas.

Postie+ launched the Postie+One campaign partnering with KidsCan in November with a Ponsonby pop-up store (also online). Postie+ matched every purchase with another of the same item which they then gifted to Finlayson Park School, which is decile 1. Items were individually wrapped and delivered by a team of Postie+ staff just in time for Christmas.

The initiative tops off a year full of exciting developments for Postie+ following the appointment of new CEO Henry Lee, the opening of its first flagship store in Albany a fresh new look for Lynn Mall and new and improved product offerings across all of the 65 stores Nationwide.

“It was a very special experience for our team to personally deliver over seven hundred items to children at Finlayson Park School. We want to thank all the customers who have joined us in supporting the Postie+One campaign and for helping us to achieve such a great result,” says Postie+ CEO, Henry Lee.

Postie+ is on track to achieve its goal of raising $100,000 for KidsCan via the Christmas Cracker Appeal. The KidsCan Christmas Crackers will continue to be stocked in all 65 Postie+ stores throughout the festive season with all profits being donated to KidsCan. “We are very grateful to Postie+ and its customers for both the financial and gift donations. It was great to take Postie+ into one of the schools that KidsCan works with. We encourage everyone to take the opportunity to give a little before Christmas by buying one of our KidsCan Christmas Crackers,” says KidsCan Founder and CEO Julie Chapman.

The Postie+One project launched Postie+’s brand new summer childrenswear including collections from top quality brands such as Best & Less. The latest childrenswear range is full of high quality, affordable and stylish items for kids this summer.
