Moss Vale 'good samaritan' rolls out act of kindness

Toilet paper has become a rare commodity these days, but one woman has given it away freely to the delight of another.

Last Saturday an elderly woman, who does not want to be named, went down to a Moss Vale supermarket to try and find a packet.

She walked out of the store empty handed until woman in her 20s approached her.

Domino's delivers

Domino's Pizza Bowral surprised the staff at Bowral Public School with free pizzas for lunch on Wednesday. Such a kind and much appreciated gesture for the admin staff, teachers and grounds staff that have been working around the clock to adjust to all of the changes happening at the moment.

A message of love

In a move similar to the bushfires earlier this year some people are sharing their support for others in a variety of ways. Clearly someone wanted Carol to know that she is loved. People are reminded to stay at home unless necessary and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Hot cross buns to warm the soul

Inspired by the kindness of Jo Harrington and the team at Bakers Delight, one customer bought hot cross buns to distribute to people waiting in line at Centrelink.

A lovely gesture

Steve Hennessy shared this message he received from his wife.

His wife Annie donated her toilet paper to an elderly man after he told her she was down to his last roll and couldn't purchase any.

"FYI [sic] decided to bailed up an old man in a disabled car park as he was putting his groceries in the car this morning knowing Aldi was out of toilet paper and said 'are you right for toilet paper' he said he was down to one roll and couldn't get any so I gave him the pack I got from IGA - he was speechless for a minute - he went on to say how grateful he was and that we have to look after each other - makes me so happy to be able to help someone in need," the message read.

Act of kindness warms Moss Vale shopper's heart

While shoppers struggle to find some items on the shelves, one Moss Vale shopper has been left astounded by the kindness of a stranger.

87-year-old John Edmonds was at Ashcroft's Supa IGA on Monday when he found himself "absolutely dumbfounded" by what a check-out employee said.

"The girl behind the counter who was adding up my groceries on the computer said 'that lady has left $50 to cover the cost of your groceries'," Mr Edmonds said.

Small act of kindness as people line up

With more than 200 people lined up at Centrelink, the staff from Mezza Bar have provided coffee to people waiting.

It's a small act of kindness that has a put a smile on many faces.

Cafe owner Marc Talbot said that a regular customer was to thank for the coffees.

"One of our regular customers shouted everyone in line a coffee," he said.

Alongside the charitable act, Bakers Delight were also on hand to deliver hot cross buns to people waiting in line as well as a local florist handing out flowers.

Local bakery owner Jo Harrington said: "Some people are going through so much - it's the least we can do do to help brighten someone's day."
