They make the world a better place! Thank you
Hospice makes money to help people – they are great ladies!
All their precious time is dedicated free of charge to serve the community with precision and utmost care. “Awesome”
They make my day every Wednesday I visit and shop, laugh and leave with a smile!
Everybody really has a smile on their face and so lovely.
Thank you volunteers!
They are priceless!
Because they aren’t paid to smile so their smiles are genuine!
Taupo would be lost without such volunteers. “They rock”
Without volunteers this would not happen. Caring is sharing!
Lovely people like this. Lovely shop. Best shop in the world.
Appreciate you all. Where would we be if no one loved?
You do an awesome job!
They are selfless!
What a wonderful contribution to our community!
