Volunteers from The Salvation Army Emergency Services in Western Australia have come out in support of the upcoming Perth Bikers Charity Ride by hosting two Bunnings sausage sizzles.

Emergency services teams prepared in the kitchens on Friday 10 October before firing up the barbies at Malaga and Belmont Bunnings outlets on Saturday 11 October to raise funds and awareness of the charity ride, which will be held on Sunday 7 December.

The Perth Bikers Charity Ride is an annual community event that supports The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. It is now in its 49th year and is among the longest-running events of its kind in Australia.

This year’s ride will be led by Perth Bikers Charity Ride ambassador, former Police Commissioner Carl O’Callaghan. The bikers will gather food, toys and monetary donations along the way for those most in need at Christmas time. Participants ride together from different start points and gather at the end for a family-fun event.

The ride departs from Kewdale at 10.30am and will follow a route to Mussel Pool, Whiteman Park. Food trucks and family activities will be at Mussel Pool, and family and friends are welcome at the finish line to support participants.

Participation is free, but riders must register and bring a Christmas gift or donate financially at the finish point.
