HIT particularly hard during the recent bushfire crisis, the Capital Chemist group of pharmacies has since distributed $100,000 of gift cards into affected areas.
The cards have been donated by Arrotex and Symbion, with support from Westpac, with tens of thousands of goods also donated by multiple pharmacy suppliers and manufacturers.
Capital Chemist's Canberra delivery vehicle was also written off in a Jan hailstorm, which afflicted the Kingston neighbourhood.
The group purchased a replacement vehicle through a Batemans Bay car dealer, with Business Manager Andrew Topp admitting the decision to go out-of-area for the purchase emanated from a desire to help other affected communities.
The group has also booked its Oct conference at NRMA Murramarang Beachfront Holiday Resort in South Durras near Batemans Bay.
The group will also showcase the beauty of the South Coast through its Recovery 2021 calendar, which will feature the photography of local professional Josh Burkinshaw.
Provided free of charge to customers, a gold coin donation from each calendar will go to the NSW Rural Fire Service.
