Every Christmas the Healesville SES runs a fundraising raffle to assist with purchasing much needed equipment to keep the community safe, and this year is no exception.
With 10 prizes ranging from $150 to $600 in value, raffle tickets can be purchased from SES volunteers in front of the Healesville Coles.
Single tickets can be purchased for $5 each, or five tickets can be purchased for $20.
All funds raised this year will go towards purchasing a new rescue vehicle.
The SES would like to add a Light Rigid Rescue Truck to their fleet, as they currently have one Medium Rigid Rescue Truck, one Support 4WD and two Rescue 4WDs on loan.
The Light Rigid Rescue Truck would enable the SES to attend to multiple rescue jobs.
A spokesperson for the Healesville SES said, “In preparation for getting our new vehicle, a few of our members are training for their Truck licence.”
“The community might have already seen them driving around town with the Driver Under Instruction signs on,” they said.
“We hope our community can support us this year by buying a raffle ticket, and then they have a chance to win one of those fantastic prizes!”
The Healesville SES thanks the many local businesses that have donated prizes to the raffle.
