Fires, emergencies, smoke, ash, evacuations, despair, anxiety, charred forest are some of the adjectives to describe the last few weeks in little old Geeveston , Huon Valley, Tasmania. 📷abchobart Though not displaced by home, we are certainly displaced by our business in being one of the numbers in this little community. Thank the Lord, thank the TFS, Tas Police & local authorities in sparing lives in this story so far though it’s not over yet ! Geeveston will rebirth, regenerate and literally rise from the ashes when this passes 🙏🏻 Please look forward to the next chapter ... Sincere heartfelt thanks to the many private and other messages to date including @lukewmcgregor @louiselovebrand @stevecumper1 among many others. 💕 • • • #tasmanianfireservice #tasmanianbushfires #geeveston #rosehaven #geevestontasmania #risefromtheashes #therealalannahhill

Bunnings will have the barbecues running from 9 am to 4pm, so you’ve got plenty of time to get down and help out.

Bunnings partnered with GIVIT, who are directing funds directly to those who need it most in the impacted communities around Australia. 

GIVIT founder and Director Juliette Wright is on the ground in Townsville, lending a hand to those who have lost everything in the floods.

The Townsville floods

“Front line services, charities and counsels are telling us what people need. And we ask generous Australians to fill that need,” Juliette told 9Honey Kitchen.

“It’s about making sure the people in need get exactly what they need when they need it. Like a mum who has a newborn and a one-year-old and cannot afford an electric kettle,” Juliette added.

“We’re focusing on essential items. Safety equipment and cleaning equipment as they’re still in the early phases of recovery.”
