Meals on Wheels volunteer's car stolen while out delivering lunches
Hi neighbours,
An 81-year-old volunteer has a message for the thief who snatched her car while she was out delivering hot lunches to the elderly and disabled – it could be your loved one left starving.
Widow Myra Brown, who donates to her time to the Meals of Wheels service, was dropping off food to a disabled woman in Woolston in Christchurch about 11am on Monday.
The service delivers meals to people who struggle to cook themselves, with volunteer drivers organised by the Red Cross.
When she returned minutes later, her white 2007 Suzuki Crossover was gone.
