We were delighted to present $20,000 to the Community Foundation for Tumut Region, who coordinated a financial donation appeal for victims directly affected by the Dunns Road fire.
Chairman of the Community Foundation Louise Halsey said that our donation brings their total to $220,000, which will be evenly distributed back to everyone who lost some property to the Dunns Road fire. They will receive it in the form of vouchers for local businesses, so the money will go directly back into the effected communities.
They are still taking donations, and will continue to do so for years to come as the ripple effects continue.
In total, due to the contributions of our community, we have now raised $20,062.
Donations can be made at: Bendigo Bank Branches, Ray White Tumut or by Direct Deposit: BSB: 633000 A/C: 141406736
