All rights reserved.Auckland’s Sunset Road meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a collection point this week for those wishing to donate emergency supplies to help those hit hard by recent flooding in the region.
Friends and neighbours brought a variety of items to a “Linen and Towel Drive” organised by local Church members Hilda Port and Laura Hunter. Volunteers thanked Ella Scanlan as she dropped off her items, to which she cheerfully responded, “Sharing is Caring!”
Love and care were shown, indeed, as people donated pillows, towels, linens, shoes, canned food goods and other necessities.

"This is a way they can help, by donating items that are desperately needed.”
Those wanting to find other ways to donate goods or participate in the clean-up in the aftermath of the flooding can visit the JustServe-Auckland Facebook page, or the JustServe website for additional resources.
