Through the support of many clubs in N3 district, we have secured a Hay Run convoy to arrive Upper Hunter on 23 June 2018, courtesy of the Lions Club of Pakenham Victoria's "Need For Feed Disaster relief" project. They (N4F) have a great system of enlisting volunteer drivers and trucks to form the convoy and our funding will support their fuel costs and meals plus some fodder purchases while they can sometimes pickup some fodder for such relief efforts at much below going rates.
Lion's Need for Feed Upper Hunter Hay Run a great success! Lion Helen, our Need for Feed Ambassador, from Belmont Lions has been pushing, for some time, for a hay run to support for our drought affected Upper Hunter farmers. The Victorian Lion's Need for Feed team overcame the logistical complexities and signed up trucks and drivers. In two weeks District 201N3 clubs raised $33,000 to purchase scarce hay. Local company Ireland Bulk Haulage provided six big tippers with dog trailers to bring 240 tonnes of donated grape marc from Griffith to the Hunter. Lions, and other groups, in Victoria and NSW donated hampers, care packs and other items. Lions in our District enthusiastically joined in, and in just two weeks our first Need for Feed Hay Run happened! The enthusiasm of Lions in this project was outstanding! Many Lions quickly learned the ins and outs of bulk haulage, farming, and production lines. Saturday morning saw about 25 Lions from 12 clubs packing hampers at the Muswellbrook Combined Service Club's shed. A donation of $900 worth of fruit and vegetables by local business people Nicole and Paul saw Lions packing forty big fruit and vegetable packs. Meanwhile other Lions and Lionesses worked on the logistics for the hay delivery and distribution, and catering for the drivers, Need for Feed crew, Lions and other helpers. On Sunday Lions had the opportunity to work with local people in delivering Fruit and Veg Packs, Hampers and Care Packs to over fifty struggling farming families in the Sandy Hollow, Murrurundi, Gundy and Noonan Flats areas. This was an overwhelming experience! The gratitude of the recipients was unbelievable. These people are struggling through perhaps the worst drought conditions on record, and many are not confident of surviving with the limited support available to them. Stock feed and the other gifts have given them both practical support and hope for the future. The Lions involved have not previously felt so touched by a project. Meanwhile, Lions at the shed continued to pack hampers. This is a great project and it needs to continue! It has brought Lions together to serve! There has been incredible effort, great camaraderie and very moving results. Thanks Lions! A de-brief and establishing plans to continue this work is proposed for Sunday 15 July 2018. Details TBC |
