Meals on Wheels volunteers needed in South Auckland

New Zealand Red Cross

At New Zealand Red Cross we recruit and coordinate volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels to people who are unable to cook for themselves. Every weekday all around the country, 250 volunteers are on the roads delivering hot, healthy lunches. Last year we distributed over 700,000 meals.

We are struggling to fill the rosters for volunteer drivers in South Auckland and need up to 70 more drivers. Could you spare just a couple of hours late morning once a week or fortnight? We provide training and support – and your fuel costs will be reimbursed.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver, you can apply apply online or call the contact centre on 0800 RED CROSS (0800 733 27677).

Please consider becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer driver, especially if you can deliver to Māngere Bridge, Māngere, Māngere East, Favona, Papatoetoe, Otara, Manukau City Centre, Otahuhu and Mt Wellington.

Thanks for the Speed Tables, Auckland Transport!

Jake from Weymouth

Thank you Auckland Transport, for the new speed tables on Palmers Road and Weymouth Road.

Getting them all done together made it less of a pain and now these streets feel more like they are designed for 30kph.

Driving at 30 is very different to the way most of us were trained to drive, so it helps when the street design tells us it is OK to go slow.

Don't be a try-hard, let that engine idle in gear and cruise your neighbourhood in style. Wind a window down and enjoy.

Everyone benefits from safer roads and crossings, but especially the tamariki on their way to and from the bus stops, kindies, schools, playgrounds, reserves, dairies, community centres, library, pool and mall.

Great job AT!
