RAPID RELIEF TEAM SUPPORTS GOOD FRIDAY APPEAL
Food and drinks will be taken care of at the Good Friday Appeal as the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) supports the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne’s (RCHM) annual fundraising event.
Thirty volunteers are expected to serve up around 1,200 meals, including bacon and egg rolls, sausage sandwiches and Signature Burgers.
RRT Melbourne Local Team Leader Billy Salisbury said the team was proud to have supported the event for the past eight years.
“This is a special event that’s close to our hearts, and we’re glad we can be here again to provide some good food to all those who are part of the Royal Children's Hospital community,” Billy said.
“The Hospital has had such a significant impact on the lives of children in our community, we feel quite humbled to be here in support.
“It is a wonderful day, and if we can take care of the food and refreshments, then the Hospital can concentrate on raising as much as they can to provide state-of-the-art care for children in need.”
RRT will be serving hot food from 6am as the Appeal gets underway. Ice cream vans will also be onsite with Border Force Puppies making an appearance for the kids.
