Trish Hurley, of the Waitaki Resource Recovery Park in Oamaru, starts to pack up food, water containers and thermos flasks for transport to Christchurch on Monday.

That will be the first shipment, transported free by Mainfreight, but the park will still continue to collect aid for earthquake victims.

They need water containers of three litres or more and with lids, which the park fills with filtered water before shipping; and non-perishable food and thermos flasks.

The Waimate District Council is also helping Canterbury.

Support services manager Carolyn Johns and Jan Alden, wife of council chief executive Tony Alden, have been helping staff at welfare centres in Christchurch, and other staff will also head north to help with the quake aftermath.
