Vic fire donations

[GregMember]

The company I work have put a semi trailer on to take donations to the Vic bush fire support effort

My boys went through and gathered together some toys, we sorted some clothes, shoes, sheets and towels to be sent down.

I am going down to donate some money today at the Bank that we as a family have all put together and urge all Old Bulls to see if you can do something anything for the people that have lost everything. Getting your mind around loosing everything you love and treasure in the blink of an eye is impossible to comprehend, let alone a loved one.

Make a mention here that you are doing something if you can, and we cant all do something, dont have say what it is, just add your name as a helper.

They are saying that there is 185 confirmed dead this morning, some 80mplus still unaccounted for. Very sad

Cheers

The company I work for just Donated $100,000 towards the Appeal and have set up a staff contribution fund through the Salvo’s via wage deductions over the next month.
That is how I will get involved, come on guys dig deep.

I contributed a couple of days ago. Although since then the situation seems to be alot worse than I originally expected so I will make an additional donation today.

There are clothes drops locally too guys so if you can’t give any money maybe you can help with clearing out your wardrobe a bit? I believe clothes are still being taken upto 3pm tomorrow arvo. Please note that the Australian Red Cross is not accepting clothes as it costs them more to gather and send the clothes down. Clothes drops are generally being operated independantly.

You can donate online with the Australian Red Cross or via the dedicated phone line (listed in the link) if you prefer.

I have stickied this thread in the hope you will all see it and make a contribution where possible.

Come on guys and gals, don’t need to know what you you have done, just let everyone know you have done something and show some OBT spirit!

I have helped a couple of days ago, I have also donated Blood and organised others to do the same as well.

Bloody tragic heard that over a million native and domestic animals also have perished,let alone the lives that were taken,

At Lake Macquarie City Council they have set up a payroll deduction to donate to the Vic fire appeal through the red cross. I have donated but I am going to give a bit more. It’s great to see the Aussie spirit is alive and well. Hopefully everyone can give whatever they can afford to help these people out. And to the dirty scurge that are faking the collection of money, I hope you suffer the fate that you deserve:angry: :angry: :angry:

Mine has set-up a salary sacrifice but I am donating cash with the employer matching employee contributions dollar for dollar up to $50000.

My wife is donating case and her employer is donating $2 for every $1 donated by the employees.

We have donations going on through the schools here, The kids have dropped the money boxes in , we’ve done what we can in supporting the kids with collections/donations, all scrap steel has been sent off ( tinnies too). It never ceases to amaze how Ozzies stand up and be counted when the hard times hit. Seriously Sad times.

Have made cash donation and we are shopping at coles today as they are donating all profits from today. Will try and make some sort of donation each pay. Certainly scary looking stuff when you live surrounded by plenty of trees.
