Community Spirit in Action: LJ Covers Supports Locals During Tropical Cyclone Alfred

When Tropical Cyclone Alfred made a beeline for our community, LJ Covers stepped up immediately to support those in need. Recognising the urgency of the situation, our team rallied together to provide vital assistance by fabricating and giving away over 750 sandbags, countless strips of PVC and emergency tarps completely free of charge

Our commitment didn’t stop there. Understanding that some members of our community needed extra help, we personally delivered and assisted in positioning sandbags at the homes of more than 30 elderly residents and people with disabilities. As calls continued to pour in, our team quickly responded by preparing an additional 50 sandbags to ensure nobody was left without crucial support and set up a pickup point at our home in Victoria Point.

Throughout this challenging period, our very own Jason provided regular weather updates to keep everyone informed and prepared, and more importantly, to put a smile on people’s faces!

During this period, LJ Covers lost all power and telecommunications for 6 days. But the incredible response from our community was overwhelming. Within 30 minutes of our online request for assistance in finding a generator, we received more offers of help than we could manage! Special thanks to Rohan (Local Community Champ), who generously loaned us a generator, enabling us to continue delivering urgent repairs and essential services to those in need.

At LJ Covers, we’re incredibly proud of our team and deeply moved by the resilience and strength of our local community. We’re committed to continuing our support in any way we can.

Together, we’ve proven that community spirit shines brightest during challenging times. Stay safe and look after each other.
