Help spread Christmas cheer

Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

Time is running out to help spread Christmas cheer to those in our communities doing it tough at this expensive time of the year.
Our Smiles for Christmas campaign, which is supported by Malcolm Wrigley Insurance Services, closes next week.
Franklin County News is collecting goodies for clients of Franklin Family Support Services, people in our towns who are struggling to make ends meet, let alone plan for Christmas.
Locals can drop non perishable food items, hardly used or new toys and books for boys and girls, and pamper items off to our office at 217 King St, Pukekohe, Franklin Family Support Services in Pukekohe, or under the Christmas tree at Pukekohe Library.
Franklin Family Support would appreciate donations of the kinds of things that say "I care" such as pretty soaps, deodorants, aftershaves and trinkets.

“You Do You” Bevan Mical

Bevan from Ngatea

“You Do You” is the New Single from Bevan Mical.

It really is simple, hence the line drawn cover art. It's a wrap up of 2024 & a big goodbye to the type of people (mostly men) who make this life harder for all of us.

“You Do You” will be streaming everywhere from 29th November
