NSW bushfires volunteering and donating NSW bushfires volunteering and donatingPosted October 22, 2013, by Andrea Riddell Heading into bushfire season, with fires already burning across NSW, Australia relies heavily on volunteers and donations to get through one of the toughest times of the year. Whether yure looking to donate money or manpower, here are some ways that you can help Volunteering Currently, more than 70,000 volunteers predominantly staff the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS). But with the average age of volunteers creeping upwards, recruiting new volunteer firefighters is now more important than ever. So if youve always considered joining the brigade, there has never been a more crucial time. Alongside firefighter roles, the RFS also offers a range of volunteer opportunities in communications, catering, logistics, planning and aviation support, so youll be sure to find something that matches your capabilities. Donations As donated goods are often expensive to collect, sort through and distribute, it is recommended that community members wishing to help out donate money rather than goods to the bushfire appeal. You can show your support by donating to the following charities The Salvation Army Bushfire Relief Appeal 13 72 58 Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery 1800 811 700 St Vincent de Paul Society NSW Bushfire Appeal 13 18 12 Woolworths stores are accepting donations for the Salvation Army and will match public donations dollar for dollar.
