Donations
GIVIT is a national not-for-profit organisation connecting those who have with those who need, in a private and safe way. GIVIT matches donation offers with identified requests from a storm, fire, flood or cyclone affected region, thereby eliminating the need for organisations to store and sort unexpected donations.
If you would like to register to receive donations please go to: The Western Queensland Flood Appeal.
If you want to donate goods to people who have been affected by a natural disaster in our Region, please pledge your offer at www.givit.org.au.
