| The Tahunanui Community Hub Nelson |
This event led by Tahunanui Pharmacy in conjunction with Te Waka Hauora Māori Health NMDHB, the Tahunanui Medical Centre and the event was held and supported by Tahunanui Community Hub.
There were many volunteers helping who were actually staff across all four businesses and organizations. Kai parcels were donated by Sealords, Pataka kai, Kai rescue and Kai with love. Hamers and spot prizes were sponsored by local businesses. The hangi and free coffee were sponsered by NMDHB.
There were volunteers everywhere giving out free kai, food hampers, free coffee and free hangi. Everyone who had a jab were enjoying themselves with plenty to eat and spot prizes.
Mark French, the Operations Manager of the Hub who was working hard greeting people all day, said “that there were about two thirds of people turning up for their first vaccination and the rest were second vaccinations.” He said “he could not give me the exact numbers, but there was a steady stream all day.” Mark added “ that it was such a nice day for the event that it encouraged whanau to come out.”
Our local MP Rachel Boyack was at the Community Hub to give support to the effort also.
The Tahunanui Community Hub who do a lot for the local community have pulled one out of the bag today and a big shout out should go to all those who donated goods and their time. At 3pm about 87,000 people had been vaccinated Aotearoa wide.
