“We were overwhelmed by the community support of last year’s give away”, said OFO’s Green Triangle General Manager, Willie van Niekerk.
“Our depot teams were touched by people sharing their stories, and how a little kindness can mean so much to people and their families at Christmas”, he said.
With this in mind on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 December OneFortyOne will gift about 150 trees to the public from its three depots at Mount Gambier, Nangwarry and Mount Burr. The trees will be available on a first come first served basis outside of each depot from 12 noon.
“Our team has done the hard work and cut the trees down, and we are once again delighted to make some trees easily available to members of the community who might not otherwise go into the forest and get themselves a real tree,’ Mr Van Niekerk said.
If you are planning on snagging a tree in the give-away, please remember you will need to make sure you can safely and legally secure your load on the way home.
Depot Locations:
- 152 Jubilee Highway East, Mount Gambier, SA 5290.
- Riddoch Highway, Nangwarry, SA, 5277
- Mount Burr Road, Mount Burr, SA, 5279
