GOOD Friday is just two weeks away, and a local group is once again asking volunteers to spare some time for a great cause.

The Lions Club of Bacchus Marsh is gearing up for the Good Friday Appeal once more, and is asking supporters and helpers to lend a hand however they can for children in need.

“Your spare time can make a world of difference, whether it’s in the days leading up to Good Friday or on the day itself,” Lions Club of Bacchus Marsh Secretary, Tim van der Poel, said.

“We’re eager to have anyone on board who’s willing to lend a hand. Simple head over to the Bacchus Marsh Fire Station from 9am onwards to register on Good Friday, if you want to jump in on the day itself.

“You can also keep an eye out for our members rattling collection cans outside local shops in the lead-up to the big day, or show your support by donating at participating businesses displaying the purple Good Friday Appeal cans.”

Following its successful introduction last year, the Lions Club will once again offer electronic means to donate to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal this year.

Local businesses will also be able to make a tax deductible donation to the local effort by contacting the club via email at [email protected], or by talking to a local Lions member.

For more information, or to get involved before Good Friday, contact David Atterbury at 0439 324 494.
