IGA Nanango staff were getting into the yellow theme …\u00a0Selina Knoll, Hayley Hunter, Bianca Ramsay, Mark Ashby, Kylie\u00a0Griffiths, Lachlan Gillanders, at front, Jenny Hoad, Reanna Fenton and Louise Ferguson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 9, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s something we should be asking every day, but on one day every a year the question becomes more insistent … RU OK?<\/p>\n

RU OK? Day was marked in Kingaroy and Nanango on Thursday with free breakfasts, free coffees and lots of yellow balloons and wristbands.<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy, support workers from various agencies and Queensland Health chatted with members of the public as they enjoyed brekkie prepared by Kingaroy Lions.<\/p>\n

In Nanango, people gathered at Supa IGA Nanango to enjoy a sausage sizzle, cooked with skill by volunteers from the Nanango SES.<\/p>\n

Supa IGA donated the sausages, bread, onions and sauce; $219.45 was also raised from donations that will be forwarded to RU OK?<\/p>\n

As well, cafes in both towns served up free coffees in the distinctive RU OK? yellow coffee cups.<\/p>\n

The aim of RU OK? Day is to “start a conversation”, and maybe – just maybe – save the life of someone.<\/p>\n

That’s why there is an emphasis on coffee … sharing a cuppa together is a great way to have a friendly chat.<\/p>\n

Need help?<\/strong><\/p>\n
