❤️🚒

$170,000 BACK INTO OUR LOCAL CFA BRIGADES.

A massive THANK YOU to the Community Bank Dandenong Ranges for their incredible ongoing support of our local CFA (Country Fire Authority) Brigades .

As highlighted in today’s Ranges Trader Star Mail News, 17 local brigades have each received $10,000 — an extraordinary investment straight back into the communities we protect.

Here at Clematis, Community Bank support has helped us purchase vital firefighting equipment that enables us to protect life and property, while keeping our firefighters safer on the fireground.

This is what genuine community partnership looks like.

17 brigades. $170,000. A lasting impact across the Dandenong Ranges.

From all of us at Clematis Fire Brigade and the wider group of brigades — THANK YOU!!

Community Bank Upwey & District has provided funding to help the Olinda Community Emergency Hub purchase a new laptop, providing the technology they need to support planning, communication and coordination when it matters most.

The Olinda Community Emergency Hub is a volunteerled group that helps the local community prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies such as bushfires, storms and extended power outages. In some situations, emergency services and other supports may not be able to access an impacted community straight away, so community have to support themselves until help arrives.

A big thank you to our customers. Thank you for choosing us and enabling us to put profits back into the community.

Thank you Selby CFA for helping to keep us safe in the Dandenong Ranges.

Last night we had the pleasure of receiving a very unexpected donation of $10,000 from Andrew and the team at Community Bank Dandenong Ranges.

This incredibly generous donation will go along way in helping our brigade fund some projects that we wouldn’t normally have the funds to do, and ensure we continue to have the latest equipment to continue serving our community.

The support we have received along with many other community organisations from the Bendigo Bank over such a long period of time is very much appreciated, and we value their support in helping to strengthen our brigade and community.

From all the members of our brigade, thank you!
