Recently funded items
Rotary - Washer and Dryer
In events such as flood and fire our uniforms can get dirty very quickly and it is not always safe to wash these at home.
The Rotary Club of Shepparton recently came to our rescue and have funded both a washing machine and dryer for our HQ so we can decontaminate hygienically after large events.
A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Shepparton!
We appreciate the following organisations who support us to provide search and rescue services to the Goulburn Valley and beyond.
