Wear green for farmers
PEOPLE of all ages are encouraged to wear green next Friday, July 25, to show their support for farmers.
A ‘wear green for farmers day’ has been organised to help raise awareness and funds to support farmers affected by the most devastating drought in many years.
Residents young and old are encouraged to wear something green to school, work, training or out in town and, if possible, donate a gold coin.
Why not gather family, friends, sport and work colleagues and host a green-themed match or barbecue?
Or, encourage customers, clients and co-workers to support Need for Feed?
All donations are tax deductible and will help fuel trucks and continue hay deliveries to keep the local farming businesses alive.
Need for Feed is a 100 percent volunteer-run, registered charity delivering hay and support where it’s needed most.
But they need urgent funding to continue their work.
They are working tirelessly to get more hay to locals who need it most, but the scale of need is now bigger than ever.
Only one-third of local farmers who registered were able to receive hay on the latest run and more is needed.
More hay must be purchased. More fuel is needed and more help would be appreciated.
Donations can be made at https://forms.gle/bX9zjzyBj3HLw9X49.
