Friends of the CCRDFV are organisations who wish to offer a free or discounted service to help those directly affected by DFV. ‘Friends of CCRDFV’ cards are handed to clients through organisations linked with the CCRDFV. Clients then present the card at the relevant business to receive their free or discounted products.
Friends of the CCRDFV has been utilised to access many local services from morning teas to discounted vehicle parts. Some Friends of the CCRDFV opt to remain anonymous to the community so their service or donation can be discrete to those they assist.
