The University of Canterbury's largest student club, the Student Volunteer Army, has launched a national volunteer response to support people impacted by COVID-19.
UC SVA volunteers are doing this by supporting essential services across Aotearoa through volunteering: they’re providing childcare for the tamariki of healthcare professionals and have built a grocery store system for those aged over 70 (and the families of healthcare workers).
SVA Volunteers are working with essential services to provide:
- Pick-up and delivery of essential grocery items through an online shop
- Childcare of healthcare professionals’ tamariki
- Working with pharmacists to help deliver medications.
