Eynesbury residents got a very special delivery recently to help them through the coronavirus lockdown.
With panic buying of toilet paper last month making supplies hard to come by, property developer Resimax Group ordered thousands of rolls and delivered them for free to locals doorsteps.
Resimax founder Ozzie Kheir said they wanted to help in any way they could.
“We wanted a way to help people through this, brighten their day and have a bit of cheeky fun with it,” Mr Kheir said.
“A friend of mine works for a toilet paper company, so we were able to order it in bulk, and I got four pallet loads to distribute to the residents.
“We just loaded them up in golf carts and delivered them to every home.
“It’s amazing how much a pack of toilet paper can go to putting a smile on someone’s face. We had residents who’d missed out in the panic buying and were down to their last roll, so it was great to be there for them.”
A total of 6000 rolls were delivered, and Mr Kheir said the company had more plans to help those in need in the community.
“We’ve launched our Eynesbury Fresh initiative where people can order groceries, meat and vegetables, and we’ll deliver a mixed box to their doorstep once a week,” he said.
“We want everyone to know that we’re all in this together, and if everyone helps out a little bit where they can we’ll get through this.”
