Hello Friend, 

Share this post on Facebook to thank our essential workers.

Every New Zealander must do their part to save lives. For many of us that is by staying home.

However, there are many Kiwis who have to leave the safety of their home to provide essential services.

These essential services maintain our health, protect our livelihoods, and reduce the threat of COVID-19.

Some of the obvious essential workers that come to mind are our first responders.

Our health and science professionals. Those involved with public safety. And those that provide utilities such as energy, waste and telecommunications.

Some of the unsung heroes at the frontlines are our supermarket workers, cleaners and aged care workers.

Our society depends on them more than ever. When you’re engaged with these essential services give the workers a big thumbs up.

This is a small gesture of gratitude for what is a great service to our nation.

We thank you for being New Zealand's heroes.
