The perfect chance to pick up fresh mangoes, straight from the farm, while helping a good cause is back with the Gerringong RFS Mango Fundraiser.
After two years missed due to COVID, locals can now order a tray of mangoes with all profits going straight to the Gerringong RFS.
The summer fundraiser started five years ago, and Commander Andrew Downes says in the past there has been many happy customers with the RFS raising over $800 last time it was on.
“The money allows us to buy additional things to help us do our job for the brigade,” he says.
The Bowen Special Mangoes will come directly to the RFS from the North Queensland farm, after they are picked up late November (specific delivery dates to come).
Mr Downes believes the fundraiser will be hit the spot again this year, with many trays already sold.
“Mangoes are always popular - everyone loves fresh mangoes especially as we head into summer,” he says.
The 7kg trays are $25 each, orders close 19 October. Order now here.
