New Zealanders are being encouraged to thank people who worked and volunteered through lockdown by making them a free morning tea at the end of this month.
The idea for a Mighty Morning Tea Shout on Wednesday, July 29 has come from Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ). National president Fiona Gower says all people have to do to join in is think of someone to thank and deliver morning tea to them, whether home-made or bought.
“During lockdown, many New Zealanders honed their baking skills and there is no better way to say thank you for a job well done than with a morning tea shout,” she says. “RWNZ is suggesting that if your preference is to buy food, then support local bakeries and cafes that had to be closed during throughout the pandemic response.
“Our team of 5 million has done an amazing job in response to the threat of the Covid-19 virus – we think it is important to celebrate that success, to say thanks to the essential workers and the people in our communities who helped all of us through.”
Fiona adds that if July 29 is not convenient, people can say thanks at any time.
“Generations of New Zealanders have enjoyed morning tea shouts and we think this is a perfect opportunity to use this tried and true way of saying thanks,” says Ms Gower.
