A Snells Beach woman is organising a free community Christmas meal for the second year running, for anyone who is alone or struggling over the festive period.
Moana Hehepoto and her three daughters organised a community breakfast on Christmas Day last year and around 70 people from throughout the district showed up. This year, she has decided to host a Christmas lunch at the Mahurangi East Community Centre and is again inviting those who would like some company or are finding it hard to make ends meet.
Moana was inspired to organise the Christmas meals after facing tough times herself when she was bringing up her children and a grandchild single-handedly. She says this year’s lunch is aimed at anyone who does not have family or friends around on Christmas Day or who is sincerely struggling to provide for their family.
The lunch will run from 12.30 to 3.30pm at the community centre in Hamatana Road. RSVP by Sunday, December 22 to Moana on 0210 246 1732.
