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 some information about them including their name, contact details if known, and a photo of them if possible, to chrish@times.co.nz.
The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our new digital publication and on our website.
This week’s recipient is Natalie Annika Tabor.
She was nominated by Anna Coates, who says: “Natalie makes bread each week and donates it to her local kai (food) pantry, along with a packet of soup for people in her community to help themselves.”
Natalie told the Times about her work to help those in need.
“I’m completely floored that someone has nominated me, how touching,” she says.
“I just felt like every time I drove past the local food pantry that it was empty and I love to bake bread so it made sense that I could do something to help.
“The bread and soup always get taken so fast and I wish I could do it more often.”
