"For instance, this past Labour Day three-day weekend we assisted 86 women and their children who required help following police call-outs related to family violence. Over the upcoming holiday period, unfortunately we are likely to experience similar numbers of women and children requiring our urgent help to keep them safe."
This is the third time Terry Wilson, owner of Mitre 10 MEGA Hamilton, has participated in a rounding up campaign for Waikato Women's Refuge.
"Getting behind this great organisation is always an easy decision for us," he said.
"Any organisation whose staff work 24/7 to assist 86 women and their children over a busy weekend such as Labour Day just passed is an organisation who deserves our community's support."
The campaign runs from November 14-20.
