Mackenzie's small acts of kindness in lockdown

Mackenzie Binnie knows the struggle of stocking up on food while in emergency housing so when she heard her friend needed help, didn’t hesitate to step up.

The Tahuna woman in need posted to Facebook asking for help as she was unable to get her usual grocery delivery.

Mackenzie then sent a taxi to the woman’s home full of food and toiletries to help her through the three-day lockdown.

Included were three home-cooked frozen meals, milk, bread, butter, noodles, baked beans and female hygiene products.

“She was a bit reluctant to take it as I have a little person, but she was incredibly grateful.

“I know that she lives day by day and if I was in that situation, I would hope someone would help me out too,” Mackenzie says.

She says she feels it is important to help out when you can.

“Lockdown isn’t nice for anyone.”
