At Taskforce Kiwi we understand that just because you take off a uniform, doesn't mean that you stop serving. We also know that the motivation to serve isn't limited to those who have served in the defence force and emergency services. And while the organisation is veteran-led, we welcome volunteers from across the wider community, Taskforce Kiwi consists of defence and emergency services veterans, and members of the wider community, with the skills, experience, motivation and grit to help communities before, during and after natural disasters. We work alongside existing emergency management agencies and communities, providing skilled volunteer resources to help fellow Kiwis on their worst day.
