The Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our local east Auckland community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.

If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them if possible to chrish@times.co.nz.

Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.

The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website.

The latest recipient is Marian Vosloo.

She was nominated by Pregnancy Choice Auckland regional co-ordinator Rebecca Adams, who writes: “Marian has volunteered tirelessly six days per week, up to 60 hours per week, to assist the opening of Abundance Op Shop and Pregnancy Choice.

“She’s an exceptionally valuable, positive, friendly and compassionate member of our team, always seeking to serve and care for others.

“Marian still works six days per week to ensure the op shop is an exceptionally friendly environment, welcoming customers, listening to their stories, sorting incoming donations, and constantly making sure the shop is tidy and presentable.

“She’s a constant source of joy and warmth and assists our other volunteers with morale and support.

“She’s absolutely irreplaceable, and we’re eternally grateful for her hard work, commitment and dedication to our cause.”
