Local branch staff and customers are working together to fundraise for the organisation, which is delivering much needed hay to assist farmers across regional NSW.
Singleton community will be helping the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners provide important relief for farmers through in-store fundraisers, customer and staff donations over the next few weeks.
“It is great to see local branch staff and customers coming together to support our local farmers who are going through a time of significant hardship,” says Commonwealth Bank Singleton Branch Manager, Kanchan Ranadive.
“The Burrumbuttock Hay Runners are doing inspiring and important work by supporting farms across the region. When we first heard about the initiative we knew we had to take part and help make a difference in our community.”
Funds raised will be used to purchase hay and fuel the trucks transporting it across the state.
Set up in 2014, the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners have completed 12 successful hay runs to help drought-affected farmers all over New South Wales and Queensland. The largest hay run in April 2016 used 258 trucks and 406 trailers to deliver $6 million of hay, feeding 300,000 animals.
Customers will also be able to support by attending the local fundraising day taking place between 17th August 2018 and 31st of August 2018 at Commonwealth Bank Singleton. Hosted by Singleton Branch, visitors will be able to purchase raffle tickets or make a donation, with all proceeds going to support this worthy cause.
