Flood victims say thanks

The Warkworth Community Response Group received social media posts from two people who were caught up in the January floods, which they have passed on so all the volunteers can see their efforts were appreciated:

“As a commuter travelling to Auckland to attend the Elton John concert, who got waylaid at Puhoi for four hours and then diverted back to Warkworth to spend the night unable to move forward or back home to Whangarei … I want to say a very big thank you to the community of Warkworth for your kindness, your generosity, your donations of foods, toiletries, places to stay for families, showers etc, your time and effort to keep myself and the other displaced people safe, fed and warm.
