The Dannevirke Lions and New World have teamed up to provide an Easter treat for the elderly in the form of hot cross buns.
With the supermarket happy to bake and package the buns and insert an Easter message, they were then delivered, much to the delight of close to200 recipients over the age of 80, many of whom appreciated the opportunity to chat as much as the freshly cooked buns.
With new owners at Dannevirke New World, the Lions wondered if the same service would be provided, but Lindy Cooper and Marty West were happy to donate the 360 buns, with Cooper saying she thought it was a great idea.
