Help Us Help Our Farmers!
It’s no secret that much of Queensland and New South Wales is experiencing some of the worst drought conditions in Australia’s history. As a Club we have come up with some ways we can help.
Great Northern Let It Pour Campaign
On Saturday 25th August we will be partaking in Great Northern’s Let it Pour campaign where the money from every schooner of Great Northern sold will go to The Drought Relief Fund. So if you are at the Club on Saturday make sure you have a schooner of Great Northern to support the farmers who continue to work tirelessly for us, even in these tough times. We will also have a donation box on the bar for those who would like to contribute. Schooners of Great Northern will be $6.
Aussie Helpers
We have partnered with Aussie Helpers, a national organisation staying in touch with farming families to ensure their wellbeing and survival through good and bad times. Aussie Helpers have a team of volunteers in QLD, NSW, and Vic who work tirelessly to source and distribute assistance, some also farmers themselves. We are asking for the donation of gift cards from Coles, Woolworths, IGA, Caltex & BP, to be distributed by Aussie Helpers to NSW farming families needing support. This will in turn help the local communities and businesses also survive the drought. There will be a collection box at reception for the card drop off from Monday 13th August to Monday 3rd September. The cards will be forwarded to Brian Egan, the founder of Aussie Helpers, for distribution to NSW farming communities in need. At recent count we have $460 dollars worth of cards already donated! Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated, your generosity hasn’t gone unnoticed.
We use many organisations and professions now and then. Farmers we use 3 times a day so let’s get behind these hard workers and lend a hand where we can.
Thank you,
Paul McAra
General Manager
