Support Floods In For Bush Fire Relief PDF Print E-mail

Donations and volunteer support for Bayside Church's Bush Fire Relief  campaign has been flooding in.  
 
The majority of the items received are brand new with people purchasing brand new linen, pillows, household items, clothing, etc specifically for the relief effort.

So far:
 

  • 70 boxes have been packed and are ready for dispatch to Bendigo.

  • A number of churches from interstate have been in touch with promises of assistance

  • The Pastor of the International Church of Milan (yes.. in Italy) has been in touch requesting more information on the crisis and promising financial support

  • The Leader Newspaper Group has joined Bayside's efforts and are donating goods to support the Dowling Family


Relief will be required long term and needs will therefore be ongoing.

Donations are still required for Bendigo, the Dowling Family and don’t forget Coles Myer/Target and Bunnings vouchers will be a great way to help people as they replace things they have lost.  Click here for a full list of things that are needed.

Special offerings for Bushfire Relief will be received at all Bayside Church services this weekend.  

Donations can be made either over the phone at Bayside Church (03) 9585 2455 or click here (please select Community Care and in the description please mark as Bushfire Relief).  All monetary donations are Tax Deductible.

All donations for both Bendigo and the Dowling Family can be dropped into the Bayside Centre in Cheltenham Monday through Friday between 10am and 4pm.
