OCEAN Grove firefighters will hit the road this month, collecting money for this year’s Good Friday Appeal.
Local firefighter Lee Bickley hopes the brigade can top the $9625 it raised for the Royal Children’s Hospital last year.
“People in Ocean Grove were amazingly generous last year – as usual,” he said.
“They were very willing to put their hands in their pockets and donate to the hospital.”
Ocean Grove Fire Brigade will send out two trucks – one in Collendina and one in old Ocean Grove – to collect donations on Good Friday.
Local caravan parks will also open their gates for the collection drive.
“In the afternoon we will be going into Wynndean and Riverview Caravan Parks, and Ocean Grove Holiday Park,” Lee said.
