KILMORE Fire Brigade is calling out for volunteers to assist with fundraising efforts ahead of this year’s Good Friday Appeal.
Kilmore CFA has been involved with the appeal since the 1980s.
The brigade organises teams of volunteers to door-knock homes in Kilmore to collect donations for The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
CFA member Garry Callinan, who organises the day at Kilmore, said the fundraising was a community effort.
“The aim is to get more people to volunteer some time for door knocking on Good Friday this year,” he said.
“We don’t have enough of our own people to cover all the town, especially as the population continues to grow. The more we cover, the more money we raise.”
Kilmore CFA will act as a base camp on the day, where a morning tea and lunch will be provided for volunteers.
Seymour Coaches will provide a bus to help transport volunteers around town and members from Kilmore Scout Group will assist on the day.
Volunteers will aim to have the fundraising wrapped up by lunchtime, depending on volunteer numbers.
This year’s Good Friday will be on April 7, with volunteers required to arrive at Kilmore CFA by 8am.
Anyone interested is welcome to volunteer, however children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information and to express interest in volunteering, people can contact the brigade at admin@kilmorefirebrigade.org.au.
