Toot for Timaru

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

On the 3rd Monday of November Timaru echoes with the sound of horns. So much so the first time it happened the police received multiple complaints. But now, 17 years on, the whole community are behind the wee scamps

Its Toot for Tucker. The project, organised by the lions club is a collection for local foodbanks

Founding member Lynette Doggett joins Afternoons. 

A woman dressed in black called Minnie is looking at the camera and holding a sign that says "Toot for tucker". Behind her a few people with their backs to the camera are loading boxes of donated food into the back of a car.
