APCO Foundation lends a helping hand in Shepparton

Once the APCO Foundation became aware of the crisis in Shepparton it was all systems go to assist families and individuals in need. 17 families were helped through our networks and received financial assistance. Helping people quickly in a time of crisis, is what makes the APCO Foundation so special and unique.

The APCO Foundation was established in 2013 and has donated over one million dollars back into the communities around the APCO stores. Sharon Gleeson the Foundation’s Chair said “The reason we started the APCO Foundation was to be there when there was a crisis in one of our communities. The Shepparton floods have been devasting and we were able to go in and help individuals and families at a time when there was a lot of loss and hardship. These families and individuals were trying to salvage what was left of their homes and their lives. Being able to spread some kindness in times like this is our mission.”

Lil Caine the APCO service station Manager said “We are so proud and thankful that APCO Shepparton has been able to be supported by the APCO Foundation and make this amazing donation to seventeen families and individuals. As a Shepparton local it makes me proud to work for a company that supports our local’s during such a devastating time. Personally, I would like to thank the APCO Foundation for such a generous donation to our Shepparton community.”

The APCO Foundation aims to help those in need in the communities around their stores all over Victoria and into NSW through donations.
