Hot cross buns delivered at the right time can make all the difference. 

People receiving cancer treatment in Lismore’s purpose built accommodation, Our House, received a delivery of local hot cross buns from Football Far North Coast.

The small “sweet gesture” was a joyful one to show the community that someone was thinking about them, Football Far North Coast general manager Steve Mackney said.

“What better way to say we care than with hot cross buns,” Steve said.

“We recognise that with the restrictions and recommendations for staying at home, the guests at Our House may need some encouragement from others during this time.

“It’s about recognising that both clubs and local charities are affected right now, but together we can work through this season.

“Covid-19 has made an impact in our country, and businesses including sporting clubs and local charities have been hit hard through this holiday time. 

“Staying at home to stay lives this Easter is the message for all and despite the hardship we are all feeling, we just want to spread some Easter joy to those doing it tough.”

Our Kids and Our House Fundraising Coordinator Rebekka Battista, said Covid-19 has impacted charities.

“Like all businesses we work with community and with the restrictions to help save lives our fundraising has been effected,” Rebekka said.

“A huge thanks to Football Far North Coast and the soccer community, they have supported Our Kids and Our House for years and we know too they have been hit hard.

"We really appreciate them championing us through this.”
