The weeks and months ahead are going to be extremely difficult for our fellow Queenslanders who have been impacted by bushfires.
Queensland is battling bushfires on many fronts, with some 60 active fires across the state as of this morning and 85 homes destroyed in South-West Queensland alone.
Hand Heart Pocket is working closely with our disaster relief partner, GIVIT to understand the level of need and how we can help.
We expect to make an initial donation to GIVIT next week, on behalf of the Freemasons of Queensland and will allocate additional funds that we can draw on over the Summer as situations arise across the state.
Our partnership with GIVIT means we can respond quickly on behalf of our Members no matter when or where disasters occur across Queensland.
Our donation will fund basic essentials like vouchers for clothing, groceries and fuel in the immediate aftermath.
If you would like to join in the efforts to help those affected, you can also donate funds to GIVIT. 100% of your donation will go directly to people affected by this natural disaster through trusted community organisations on the ground.
Being so close to Christmas, your support would be much appreciated.
You can donate online here: https://www.givit.org.au/donate-funds via credit card and PayPal. Remember to include the reference HHP23.
