The Salvation Army Operation Living Waters program
in partnership with RACV
have launched a Mobile Outreach Vehicle.
The Mobile Outreach Vehicle - a truck and trailer designed especially for drought recovery community work in northern and western Victoria was lauched on June 27th at The Salvation Army Bendigo. The trailer has been fitted out with a kitchen, meeting space, computers and games, LCD TV, craft materials, sports and first aid equipment.
'We are extremely pleased that RACV has joined us on the front line to help us make a marked difference to the lives of individuals and families in these hard-hit regional areas. It will enable us to move into drought-stricken Victorian communities at a grass roots level with the latest technology and equipment to develop much-needed support programs.' Major Lyn Cochrane said.
RACV president and chairman, John Isaac, said the organisation was proud to be part of such a worthwhile cause. 'Many RACV members come from regional areas of Victoria and this is yet another way in which their membership is helping those in need within their own communities,' Mr Isaac said.
