THE owner of Shepparton Chargrilled Chicken, Jerry Barolli, did what he could on Sunday and offered free bottled water to locals affected by the floods.
With many people unable to get to a supermarket, many stores closed due to staff shortages, a lack of stock, or from being surrounded by flood water, Jerry’s lifeline of free drinkable water would have been a godsend for many people.
“It’s about locals supporting locals. At a time when it’s hard to think where to begin to help, even something like this can be a huge help to people in need,” said Jerry.
At a time when it can be hard for local businesses to know how to help, simple yet significant gestures like this will make a world of difference.
