Here are a couple of ways to support those affected by bushfires this summer:
Fresh Hope Bushfire Appeal
Make a tax-deductible donation to this appeal established by Fresh Hope (our denomination), and they will distribute the funds to churches in the areas impacted by the fires, so that these local churches can help their communities in whatever way is most needed.
“When loss and disaster strikes, it is imperative that we mobilise resources to assist churches in their endeavours to help those impacted by fires. We continue to pray for families, communities and firefighters impacted during this season.” Dr Andrew Ball, Executive Ministry Director, Fresh Hope NSW/ACT.

The NSW RFS have summarised how you can help, including links to key charities, instructions for how to support their volunteers and links to other relevant organisations that may need support (e.g. animal welfare).
Key message: financial donations are needed more than physical items.
