Supporting Our Local Heroes: Ritchies & Balnarring CFA

At Ritchies, we are deeply committed to giving back to the communities that support us. Through our Community Benefits Program, we have been able to make a significant impact on local organizations, helping them strengthen their services and enhance their ability to support others.

One of the proudest examples of this is our ongoing partnership with the Balnarring CFA (Country Fire Authority). For many years, our local Ritchies IGA store and our dedicated customers have contributed generously to this important cause. Thanks to their support, we have donated over $200,000 to the Balnarring CFA, which has directly contributed to improving their service delivery.

Making a Real Impact

The funds donated through the Community Benefits Program have played a crucial role in the CFA’s ability to upgrade and purchase essential equipment. This vital equipment helps the CFA protect our local community and the wider Victorian region, especially in times of crisis or emergency. From firefighting gear to other necessary tools, these contributions are making a real difference in ensuring that our local heroes are well-equipped to respond to emergencies and protect lives.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Balnarring CFA, its dedicated team, and all our customers who have supported this initiative over the years. Your generosity and commitment to giving back have had a lasting impact on the community, and we are truly grateful to be part of such a wonderful partnership.

Together, we are building stronger, safer communities, and your support continues to inspire us to do even more.
