21.01.2022 St Francis De Sales Regional College at Leeton recently had a very successful fundraising event. It involved a gold coin donation for casual clothes, a truly magnificent morning tea shared by staff and Year 12, and the incredible cake auction to finish the day, which all added up to a huge success. One of the recipients of the fund raising was the Lockhart Branch of Can Assist, which received $2000. Vice President Keith Carter accepted this very generous donation at a morning tea at the college. A very big thank you to staff and students at St Francis.

17.01.2022 How fantastic is that! Many people struggle with the cost of getting treatment for cancer. It is heart warming that so many people, businesses and organisations give so generously to local branches to help out local people.

12.01.2022 Thanks for all you do Adam and the team.

12.01.2022 We are very happy to be supporting people with cancer in partnership with Deniliquin CanAssist. Having a car to get to treatment is an absolute must in a rural area, especially with COVID-19 limiting access to public and patient transport.

11.01.2022 If you require assistance please be aware we will have protocols in place so that neither party is placed in harms way. Please respect this and do not visit our client assistance officer without first calling to arrange how this will be done. All future meetings have been cancelled until further notice as directed from Can Assist Head Office.

10.01.2022 How special are the Boree Creek Quilters! We had an afternoon tea at the Lockhart Ex-Servicemen's Club today to thank them for the 16 quilts that they recently donated to our branch for Lilier Lodge (bringing the total to 40 quilts). They then bring along another quilt for us to raffle off for fundraising. It is another very beautiful quilt and there will be plenty of interest in the raffle! Stay tuned for raffle details ....

09.01.2022 We received a very kind donation of $220 from Jared at Lockhart Gourmet Meats.

06.01.2022 Can Assist has 55 branches across rural New South Wales and is celebrating its 65th year this year. Our biggest point of difference is that when a Can Assist br...anch asks for a donation, or hosts a fundraising event, you can be assured that 100% of the money raised will stay in that town to support local cancer patients.

05.01.2022 EDIT: There was another $50 received later that day as a donation. So the total was actually $1710! We had a lovely surprise at our meeting today - the Lockhart Women's Bowling Club handed over a cheque for $1660. This was the proceeds from their annual charity luncheon.
