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 $100 Little Ed voucher and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website.
This month’s recipient is Jim Greenhough. He is nominated by Sylvia Harris, who writes:
“Jim runs a video/production company and often provides pro bono work to local businesses and events, including the Pukekohe Bike Race.
“He volunteers at Pukekohe Community Action, delivering food parcels a number of times a
week.
“He is often seen up and down Buckville Road collecting rubbish. He goes out of his way to help and support his neighbours.
“And he is a wonderful Grandad. Taking kids to all their sporting events when parents are at work.”
