16.01.2022 We would like to acknowledge and give a massive thank you to The Rotary Club of Ballarat West Fundraising who have donated again and this time over a whopping $8000 for the remaining appliances required to finish the renovation of our original bus. This included a double oven cook top range hood and upright fridge. Without organisations like this we would not be able to continue. This will allow the soup bus to have 2 permanent buses serving our community.
