Community supports special cause
Although collections looked a little different this year, the Warracknabeal community showed their support for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal, beating last year's total by $4036.
Warracknabeal CFA collected donations from Werrigar Roadhouse on Henty Highway and through the popular fire truck collection around town which resulted in a total amount of $34,029 being donated to the cause.
The CFA station was also open throughout the afternoon as an additional collection point with people also donating through the QR code and online.
Overall, $23,822,792 was raised for the 2025 Good Friday Appeal in Victoria.
Penny Fowler, Chairman of the Good Friday Appeal, said the generosity of regional Victoria is truly inspiring.
"From small towns with big hearts, to major regional centres, communities have united to make a huge difference for sick children and their families," she said.
"Their unwavering support highlights the compassion and dedication of regional volunteers, donors, and supporters.
"We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this year’s record-breaking success possible.”
