Weekly Events
Here are some of the regular events that are hosted weekly at Survivor's R Us!
Hearty Starts Breakfast
Hearty Starts is an event we host every Monday and Thursday from 8:00 - 10:00 am to provide a free BBQ breakfast prepared by the wonderful volunteers from Lions Club of Valentine - every Monday and every second Thursday, and The Rotary Club of Warners Bay - every second Thursday.
The breakfast food available includes bread/ toast, eggs, sausages, hash browns, and much more! Tea, coffee, and juice are also supplied! Orange Sky also has on-site clothes washing facilities for free of charge cleaning while you eat on a Monday, and we also have our own laundry facilities available 9am - 2pm Monday to Thursday.
Thank you to our volunteers!
