24.01.2022 On Sunday, we joined the Mitzvah Day movement by hosting a very special Working Bee at Souper Kitchen. It was amazing to see everyone in person as we packed car...e packages for community members in need, learned about Souper's work, made new friends and had tons of fun!

22.01.2022 Your Drought and Fire Donations at Work. As our response to the latest drought and last summers fires is winding down and we're getting ready for whatever this... summer may bring, it's time to take stock of what has been achieved, all managed by a group of dedicated volunteers. The map below, which was prepared as part of a report to our Lions District 201 V3 Convention, shows our response to requests for assistance in just the last 12 months. In total, our response to the drought since January 2018 has seen well over 1300 truckloads of fodder worth around 12 million dollars delivered to farmers totally free of charge into all of the eastern states including Tasmania and South Australia. That is on top of more than 700 truckloads with a value of at least $6.5 million for those affected by last summer’s horrific fires. These deliveries are usually accompanied by household hampers, personal care packs, Lions teddies and toys for the kids, and food for our best mates. Every farm has at least one dog! Now about to begin our 15th. Year, we at Need for Feed take great pride not only in being managed 100% by volunteers but also this year being adopted as a national Project of Lions Australia You will see from the map that we have been able to meet approximately 85% of our requests for assistance over the last 12 months. Our aim now being a National Project, is to partner with other Lions Club and Districts to build capacity in order to better meet the needs of all the communities we wish to serve. Our group of 6 Lions members on our committee are involved on pretty much a daily basis. With nearly 200 different truck drivers taking part in 18 Hay runs over the year, a core group of 15 have completed just about every run.

16.01.2022 In line with our Lap The Map Project, we are promoting an awareness of diabetes. Here is a wonderful poster reminding us how we can help ourselves to stay healthy, or improve an existing diagnosis of diabetes.

15.01.2022 Finishing touches on the 12 Days of Christmas Hampers. Now ready to be delivered to the Women’s Refuge via Council staff. We hope these hampers bring joy.

03.01.2022 After supplying us with the use of a brand new telehandler less than 3 months ago JCB Agriculture Australia and Michaels Group of Moama have replaced it with an...other brand spanking new one. Not that there was anything wrong with the other one other than the dust we put on it. Just time to swap it over before we put more than demo hours on it. Thank You JCB CEA. We can head into summer prepared for nearly anything.
