COFFS Coast Legacy is launching its annual fundraiser, Legacy Week, running from Sunday 31 August to Saturday 6 September 2025.
The major focus is Badge Day on Friday 5 September.
“We will be located at all major shopping centres,” said Coffs Coast Legacy Community Services Manager Jane Sury.
“If you miss us on Friday there will be opportunities to support Legacy at Bunnings and in Bellingen on Saturday, 6 September.”
For over a century, Legacy has supported thousands of veterans’ families, providing financial and social support during times of hardship and grief.
As the needs of veterans’ families continue to evolve in complexity, Legacy remains committed to meeting these changes with compassion and care.
“We are adapting our services to provide personalised support that recognises each family’s unique circumstances and challenges,” Ms Sury said.
“Every veteran’s family deserves care that honours their journey and meets their distinct needs.”
Donations made during Legacy Week make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans’ families.
“Your generosity directly contributes to the ongoing care and wellbeing of the families we proudly support with all funds raised on the Coffs Coast remaining here and supporting local military families,” Ms Sury said.
Coffs Coast Legacy currently looks after over 300 veterans’ families, providing services like home and hospital visits, affordable housing, compensation advocacy, social groups, education support, holiday camps and activities for Legacy Youth.
Legacy merchandise, including badges, pens and Legacy bears will be available at Legacy on Victoria and the Legacy Opportunity Shop during Legacy Week.
Club President Jeremy Nash told News Of The Area, “The families of our serving men and women deserve the support of our wider community.”
