The Franklin Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them if possible, to editor@franklintimes.co.nz.
Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.
The award is sponsored by Little Ed Pukekohe. Recipients will receive a $50 Little Ed voucher and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website. Due to the large number of nominations, we will be awarding one Community Hero in our newspaper and another in our mid-monthly newsletter.
This month’s recipient is Craig Prescott, who has been nominated four times.
Kiana Powell writes: “Craig has always been a smiling face around Franklin. Also helping
others, from giving change to the drunkards to get their chicken nuggets back in the day, to always providing a hi and bye with a smile to anyone who encounters him at Chemist Warehouse in Pukekohe.
“He used to do a Christmas light display, giving all proceeds to the local fire station. I bet there is so much more that he’s done without the public knowing.”
Bryce Thompson writes: “He’s always friendly at Chemist Warehouse door but forever picking up rubbish in and around Franklin Road.”
Shannan Langmann writes: “For being such a lovely community member. Picking up rubbish, greeting people every day at Chemist Warehouse and updating the pages about weather warnings as they occur.”
And from Laurie Clemens: “Craig is forever picking up rubbish in our area, keeping Franklin
tidy.”
