'Heli livestock' pledge campaign for local farmers. 

'Heli Livestock’ enables farmers to support their local rescue helicopter service the best way they know how - through the proceeds of fat or store livestock.

Every year, rural and remote missions account for approximately 40 percent of Hawke’s Bay’s annual air medical rescues. Our farming community know all too well the rescue helicopter is their lifeline and it remains dependant on support from the community to remain free and accessible for all.

GETTING BEHIND ‘HELI LIVESTOCK IS QUICK AND SIMPLE.

How farmers can make a livestock pledge:

• All farmers need to do is book the stock (fat or store) that they wish to pledge as a separate line with their livestock agent or meat company representative who will then direct the proceeds to the Hawke’s Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust (HBRHT). Please note, for fat stock a separate ASD form will need to be completed with HBRHT’s details.

• The meat processor or livestock firm will pay Hawke’s Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust directly for the stock proceeds pledged.

• Once HBRHT receive the proceeds they will issue the farmer a donation receipt, for tax purposes.
