The hostel is calling on the community, friends from the hostel, volunteers and family members to help bring the day to life.
If you are able to help in any capacity, they are specifically looking for people who can run or support a stall, bake delicious homemade treats or donate plants or other unwanted items for sale.
If you can lend a hand, they would be incredibly grateful as every little bit helps to create a fantastic day for the residents, families and community. You can email tracey.morrison@tochostel.com.au or phone (03) 5874 3650 if you are able to help out in any way.
There will be home made cakes, slices and savoury foods, plants, produce and face painting on the day.
A raffle will be held along with residents’ crafts for sale and the famous spinning wheel so make sure you head to the hostel to show your support.

Tocumwal Rural Fire Brigade is reminding residents planning to conduct a burn off on their property to notify the appropriate authorities and their neighbours before lighting the fire.
Notifying a planned burn can help prevent unnecessary Triple Zero (000) calls and ensures firefighters are aware of planned burns in the area.
Before conducting a burn, residents should check whether a fire permit is required, notify the RFS of the planned burn, inform neighbours, check the weather and fire conditions, and ensure adequate water and firefighting equipment is available.
Burns should never be left unattended.
Residents can notify the RFS of a planned burn online at https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/BFDP/burn-notifications.
Tocumwal Rural Fire Brigade reminds the community that notifying a planned burn is not the same as obtaining a fire permit.
Residents are encouraged to plan carefully and take all necessary precautions to help keep the community safe.
