A fundraising concert was held on Saturday, May 7 and Bed Inn Bus founder, Terry Stanton said it was a great success.
The concert was held at the Manning Uniting Church in Taree, with Terry reporting it was so well attended some people walked away as they could not get in.
The concert raised a total of $2095.05.
"We are now only a little short of $25,000, which is 25 per cent of our target," Terry said.
The Bed Inn Bus committee always welcomes donations, and is hoping local businesses and philanthropists can help with donations to reach the target of $100,000.
As well as much needed money to get the bus, the group is always needing more helpers and/or volunteers.
