WARWICK residents are invited to celebrate Australia Day and support the Queensland Rural Fire Service (RFS) by joining Bunnings Warwick team members for an Australia Day fundraising barbecue on Saturday 24 January.
Queensland Rural Fire Service Acting Deputy Commissioner Bryan Cifuentes said he was pleased Bunnings has chosen to support emergency services with this great initiative.
“QFES volunteers such as those from the Queensland State Emergency Service and the Rural Fire Service Queensland are dedicated members of the community who don’t mind pitching in when they’re needed, It is really great to see when the community return the favour by helping to fundraise. This support enables the continued improvement of our volunteer organisations,” Mr Cifuentes said.
Bunnings Warwick store manager Ross Kingston said the Aussie Day Weekend Fundraiser Barbecue is a terrific way for team members and all Australians to show their appreciation for the wonderful work done by local volunteer emergency services.
“We’d love everyone to come and enjoy a sausage sizzle and help raise vital funds for the great work done by local volunteer emergency services across the Australia Day weekend,” Mr Kingston said.
Between 9am and 4pm, team members from Bunnings Warwick will be running the barbies with support from emergency services volunteers, with every cent raised going directly to support the Queensland Rural Fire Service.
Family activities, fun games and entertainment will also be held throughout the day.
