Members of a local motorcycle club visited charity organisation Lazarus Community Centre to deliver a special surprise on Sunday.
Missing Links motorcycle club members donated $4000 after organising various charity fundraising events.
Club members were given a guided tour of the facility that feeds, clothes and shelters hundreds of Geelong’s homeless people. Lazarus is managed almost entirely by volunteers and funded largely by donations.
“We’re really pleased to be able to support this Geelong community service organisation,” Missing Links president Rob Jenner said.
“We’ve been shown through the facilities, we’ve been made to feel very welcome indeed and we can see exactly what good our donation can do at the ground level.
“The staff and volunteers are really going the extra mile here to help those less fortunate and it’s very easy to see that.”
Missing Links Motorcycle Club is a group of local bike enthusiasts that organise a number of charity events annually.
The club has its spring poker run on Sunday October 9. The event kicks off from the Corio Bay Roadhouse at 8.30am.
“We invite Geelong’s motorcycle community to come along, enjoy a great day of riding and support this fantastic charity,” club secretary John Fraser said.
“There’s a $500 prize on offer, too, for the best poker hand.”
