Delivering for isolating students

Otago Polytechnic second-year civil engineering technology student Lewis Shaw has started delivering groceries to isolating students.

He noticed how "hectic" online orders for supermarkets were getting after the Castle St locations of interest were announced last week, he said.

He already drove for a takeaway delivery service and figured most students had not had a chance to do a proper shop.

He charged a small fee to cover the cost of petrol and time taken and advertised his services on Facebook.
