A resident at Lawson House for over six years now, Janese McDermott labelled the Fire Station team as "legends", and said she looks forward to their visit every year.
"We're really very lucky, they're such a great service, and not only them, but also the Lawson House committee here who never fail to help organise it," she said.
Ms McDermott said Easter was not the only time of year the Fire Station share their generosity with the aged care facility.
"They always get involved at Christmas too putting on a lunch for the residents and always bring gifts for us which is really special," she said.
Lawson House Treasurer Noreen Deacon said the team at Junee Fire Station were greatly appreciated by the non-profit organisation.
"It can be difficult to raise enough funds to do these sorts of things for the residents so to have that extra community support is amazing," she said.
"Not only do they donate chocolate and gifts during the festive seasons, but they always provide, check and service the fire alarms here and help out if we ask."
Ms Deacon added that the committee for Lawson House has its concerns moving forward into the future.
"While all this support is extremely valuable to us, we really need to get younger community members to carry the committee into the future," she said.
"We want to steer clear of housing commission - this service belongs to the Junee community."
