Urgent Volunteers Needed
We need you!
Age Concern Otago coordinates volunteer drivers who collectively deliver more than 500 hot two course meals to Dunedin clients every week.
Volunteers collect meals from one of the various sites around the city every lunchtime. Each run takes about an hour to complete.
Often our volunteers provide the only human contact with Meals on Wheels clients from day to day and both the volunteers and clients describe this as a rewarding experience.
If you can spare one hour, once or twice per month to deliver a hot lunch time meals to people in your community, please call Fiona on 03 479 3055 or email Mealsonwheels@ageconcernotago.co.nz

Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
