From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 17 December 2021

A West Auckland charity has come up with an innovative way to distribute food and toy parcels this Christmas.

Visionwest has designed a drive-through Christmas foodbank so delivery can be contactless and meet Covid-19 restrictions.

Brook Turner, head of community service development at Visionwest, talks to Karyn about how they're meeting demand while preserving the dignity of those in need.
