Now there's a new way to help, and it revolves around answering questions.
A trivia night - combined with raffles, an auction and a barbecue - will be held on Thursday, August 8 in the hall at Tocal College.
It's the brainchild of Tocal College students who have drawn on their student-led Rotaract group to host the community event.
Proceeds will go to Slow Food Hunter Valley's Upper Hunter drought-relief box drive, which is sending fresh fruit and vegetables to farmers in Gundy each month.
It's a fitting tribute. These students understand the challenges farmers face during drought and they will become the farmers of the future.
This drought really cuts to the heart of these students, many of whom come from rural areas and farming families. They are seeing first-hand the impact this is having on primary industries across the board and much more personally through the hardships their families and communities are experiencing,

The barbecue starts at 5.30pm and the trivia questions begin at 6.30pm. Cost is $5 per person or $20 for a family.
To reserve a place call or text Lakin Agnew on 0438 627 654, or turn up on the day.
Anyone who wants to help, and cannot attend, can donate to Slow Food Hunter Valley BSB: 062827; account: 10250766; reference: FOF followed by your surname.
