Good Afternoon Otara Community Family ❤️

‼️ As you are all aware, we’ve been hit hard by torrential rain causing some flooding and having some people evacuate to safer premises ‼️

Families that have been affected are in need of help. A delegated team will be at the Otara Latter-day Saint church (on Ferguson Rd) from 1pm - 3pm to collect the following items. ⚜️

⚠️ Please family, do not feel pressured - only if you can 🫶🏽

Stay safe everyone & God Bless! 🙏🏽
