How can you help the Kantab project

If you have can tabs to donate you can contact one of our area coordinators to find out more or if we have no club operating in the area perhaps you could take the items directly to a scrap metal supplier to sell and pay any funds you receive directly to Kidney Kids NZ.

Want Kantab collection tins for your business or community group? You can order them here https://www.resene.co.nz/comn/whtsnew/kantabs.htm#order and start collection for pickup by a Lions club. Contact your local area contacts below for more information or collection of Kantabs.
