This is a special call for Meals on Wheels Drivers in Dunedin!!!!

Kristen Beardsmore from Age Concern Otago

Can you spare an hour one day a week, a fortnight or one day a month? Or would you prefer to be a relief driver? Or a School Holiday driver? Any help is greatly appreciated. We are needing volunteer drivers to deliver Meals on Wheels in the South Dunedin, City Central and Hill areas urgently.

Volunteers collect meals from one of four pick up sites around the city every lunchtime. Each run takes under 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.

We’re often asked if groups can volunteer and the answer is “Yes!” We welcome individual drivers as well as groups from clubs, churches, schools and businesses. Often a group will “adopt” a particular route on a specific day each week.

If you would like more information about Meals on Wheels volunteering, please contact Fiona now. Our phone is 03 477 1040 or Email MealsonWheels@ageconcernotago.co.nz

What am I?

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
