“We usually host barbecues and bake sales outside the Horsham store throughout September, but because of COVID-19 restrictions we obviously can’t do that at the moment,” she said.
“Therefore, we have decided to fundraise through gold coin donations at the supermarket check-outs and we will also have badges for sale.
“This week, we have also launched a major raffle that will run until the middle of next month.”
Ms Schilling encouraged people to buy $2 raffle tickets at Woolworths to go in the running to win a wheelbarrow full of ‘goodies’.
“The items have all been donated by Woolworths and we are grateful for their ongoing support,” she said.
“All money raised will go towards buying a Ranger blood and fluid warming machine for Wimmera Base Hospital’s emergency department.”
The raffle will be drawn on October 11.
