Several extremely grateful members of North Rodney Community Patrol were at Warkworth Toyota last week to receive the ultimate donation – a brand new Toyota Camry Hybrid sedan.
The new vehicle was fully funded by Warkworth Toyota and replaces an old Toyota Orion that had been provided by the dealership seven years ago.
Patrol volunteer Richard said while the old car was still fit for purpose, Warkworth Toyota saw that they needed an upgrade.
“We’re really lucky, we couldn’t exist without them,” he said. Warkworth Toyota customer service manager Cherryll Thompson said they were happy to support the Community Patrol, which covers Warkworth and out to Martins Bay, Omaha and Point Wells.
“It’s something we have done for a long time and will continue to do.
We want to support the community as much as possible,” she said.
Volunteers run three four-hour observation patrols a week to support local police. Pictured at the handover, from left, Warkworth Toyota service manager Luc de Fleuriot with volunteers Greg, Richard, Jeff, Steve and James.
