ONCE AGAIN Frontier Services Christmas Gift Cards will provide an opportunity to buy a Christmas gift for someone that will keep giving long after the tinsel comes down and the sales are over.

Frontier Services National Development Manager, Gabriel Lacoba, said the cards provide a way to directly impact the lives
of people in remote Australia throughout the year to come.

"In the past year, recordbreaking floods, cyclones and bushfires have impacted on the lives of many people living in remote Australia," she said.

"Many were left not only to rebuild homes and fences, but also their livelihoods.

"Many of the families with whom Frontier Services works are a long way from mainstream services.

It can be very hard, or at times impossible, for them to access support."

Ms Lacoba said the cards are also a way of ensuring that people don't feel alone, no matter where they live.

The Christmas Gift Cards offer a range of gifts including helping educate a young person from a remote area, helping support a volunteer through the Outback Links program that connects volunteers with families needing an extra hand, or even filling the fuel tank for a Patrol Minister who covers over 500kms just to visit a remote family.
