Feed A Farmer
Published Date: 22 Oct 2018
Summary
In 2016, NSW Police issued the challenge to 'Stuff Your Chopper' and since then, NSW RFS members have collected and donated more than 30 tonnes of food and other products.
This year, with so much of the state in the grips of a devastating drought, we’re banding together with other agencies and Food Bank NSW/ACT to 'Feed A Farmer'. You’re encouraged to get involved, organise a brigade or district collection, which will distributed to drought affected areas in the lead up to Christmas.
Collections will run until Tuesday 4 December 2018. The community can show their support by dropping any food or necessities to one of the following locations during business hours, Monday-Friday:
