The owner of the Driving Miss Daisy Botany trusted companion driving service is doing her bit to help make life a little bit easier for deserving east Auckland residents.
Janita Isaacs is giving away five prize packs, each of which contains a $20 Woolworths gift voucher as well as a mug, a Driving Miss Daisy shopping bag and some chocolates.
She’s doing it to help local residents who are facing challenges and to celebrate the fact her franchise has been in business for 10 years.
Each recipient will be collected from their home at a prearranged time by a Miss Daisy driver and taken to Woolworths to do their grocery shopping.
The driver will assist the winner with their shopping and then be driven back home.
Isaacs is partnering with the Times on the giveaway.
“We would just like to do something special for the community,” she says.
“I really want to give them to someone in the community who’s going through tough financial times.
“It’s social responsibility in a sense, as a small business owner, to give back to someone in need.”
Isaacs says she hopes the initiative will have a “significant positive impact” in the community by directly helping people who are facing financial hardship.
“The provision of groceries alleviates immediate needs, while the companion driving service offers a valuable social connection and combats isolation, often experienced by those who are struggling.”
Recipients need to live in any of the following suburbs: Botany, Dannemora, East Tamaki, Highbrook, Flat Bush, Whitford, Mareaetai and Beachlands.
