Shoalhaven Ex Servos Group directors Bill Garrick and Neville Whalan recently participated in an event to help victims of the extensive floods in Eugowra in the NSW Central West.

The initiative was led by Orange Ex-Servos Club with the involvement of other clubs around NSW including Shoalhaven Ex Servos as part of its community giving program.

Bill and Neville travelled to the Central West and joined the other volunteers at Eugowra Showground to distribute gift cards to eligible locals. Over 180 families received gift cards on the day.

The Board members cooked the free BBQ all day in the searing heat and got the chance to speak to the residents and hear their stories about how the floods affected them.

The trip also gave the men the opportunity to visit the Orange Ex-Servos Club and enjoy the roof-top bar, and a tour of the venue.

The day ended with all the volunteers meeting in the air-conditioned Eugowra Bowling Club.
