Fresh Home Baking for Tauranga & Whakatane Hospital Staff:
With our team at Rise Up Tauranga, we are encouraging the BOP community to provide seven weeks of fresh home baking for Whakatane and Tauranga hospital staff from February 28 to April 13 while we go through Phase 3 of the Omicron outbreak and to help support our frontline health services as they come under further pressure with hundreds of people testing positive for Covid-19. It would be wonderful if Rotary club members could spread the word to other Rotary clubs in the Eastern and Western Bay of Plenty, as well as to their own business networks, and friends and family.
