Adopt a Granny

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

An innovative grassroots support programme has been launched in Kaitāia to offer support to local seniors in need.

It's called 'Adopt a Granny', and through the initiative volunteers will visit 15 seniors fortnightly to provide extra food and a welfare check. It's run by Kaitāia Whānau in Need, a not-for-profit founded by Deirdre Ahu.
