Service Clubs Combine For Donation

Two of Home Hill’s service clubs have joined forces for the Home Hall Hospital Benefit Fund in a sign of solidarity, all in the name of a good cause.

The Home Hill-Ayr Lions Club and the Home Hill Rotary Club, worked together to ensure that the Home Hill Hospital benefitted from the double-teamed fundraising event, with both organisations donating a total of just over $6000 in a show of strength and wonderful community spirit.

The combined money raised, now allows the Home Hill hospital to improve facilities for their patients currently occupying the 14 beds in the Hospital.

The kind donations have resulted in the Hospital now having two motorised, luxury leather chairs which lift from the back and greatly assist patients to easily exit the chairs, along with four over-armchair tilting tables that fit over the chairs, that can be wheeled into position at the chair to allow patients to be able to comfortably eat their meals.

The Home Hill Hospital was thrilled with the twin-team effort, while patients are the big winners thanks to the results of the two generous clubs.

The outcome from both The Home Hill Rotary Club and Home Hill-Ayr Lions Club, is indicative of what happens when the wider community and the community groups within it, combine endeavours and work together with a single goal in mind.

Congrats to both clubs for achieving an amazing result that is a win-win for everyone!
