Helping Our Neighbours
Are you keen to help others during our present isolation? Do you feel anxious yourself or need help of any kind? Pukekohe is a great and supportive community, but Covid-19 brings us many challenges. Some of us want to help others but don't know how. Some would welcome assistance but don’t know where to go for help or don’t like to ask.
At the request of our local MP, Andrew Bayly, Pukekohe Community Action is trying to match up people to create a community network of help. If you need help, you can let us know by clicking on this link forms.gle... copy and paste the link in your browser) and fill in the form. If you know someone who needs help but isn’t computer-savvy, it would great if you could phone them and complete the form for them. Or you could send me your name and number as a pm. If you’d like to offer help, please complete the form at forms.gle....
Many thanks for your help. We all try to support each other as best we can. Posted on behalf of Jan Wallace, Pukekohe Community Action
