Does anyone know if there are any appeals in Akl collecting goods for the Victorian Bushfire?
We are moving in a few weeks so during my cleanout I have come up with a few clothes and some kitchen/household items. I just wondered if they would be useful in Victoria. I could give them to the local Sali Army shop but the last time I dropped stuff off there th lady was so grumpy and unappreciative (sp??) that I am reluctant to go back - I didn't expect a sng and dance but a thank you would have been good!
A nice idea! However Red Cross says:
Please do not donate goods We are not accepting goods because it often costs more to collect and transport than to purchase from local businesses. These businesses have often also been badly impacted and can benefit from the activity. Currently we are focused on people's immediate needs. If we identify a specific need we will make a public call.
There may still be a few places accepting goods for shipment to Fiji after their recent flooding? Or there's always Women's Refuge?
When I did a massive clean out last year, I dropped everything apart from clothing (I put that in the bins) to the Auckland City Mission - they were really appreciative.
