Great way to support this wonderful group who support our service providing financial support for our service , transport to treatments for those in Dungog Shire with a life limiting illness!!

Don’t forget to order your mangoes!!

🥭🥭The Mango Fundraiser🥭🥭

Only use Bowen Special Mangoes which are more formally known as Kensington Pride Mangoes. They are packed in a single layer tray and each tray will usually have between 12 and 22 mangoes, with a total tray weight of approximately 7kg.

As well as having a great taste, Mangoes are packed with nutritional goodness – Vitamin C (one Mango contains your recommended daily allowance), Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, antioxidants, Potassium & B Vitamins. They are low in fat & Cholesterol free.

When you buy Mangoes from the Mango Fundraiser you know the fruit is coming directly from the farm to you. Your mangoes aren’t being held for long periods in storage or ripening rooms.

Arriving late November early December, orders are now open.
Friends of Palliative Care Inc receive a portion of each sale 💛

Great way to support those who support our service and get some delicious fruit!!

GUESS WHO’S BACK, BACK AGAIN……..
That’s right! You heard it here first.

The Friends of Palliative Care Inc Annual Mango Fundraiser is back for a 5th year!🥭

We’ve changed up the way orders are made, as our volunteers have spent a lot of time previously chasing up payments.
You will now need to pay when placing your order to streamline and lessen the work for our incredible volunteers.

More information can be found at the below link.

💰A portion of each sale is donated to FOPC Inc. which goes directly to supporting individuals in our community in end of life and palliative care.
