A Guide To Which Charities Are Donating Where, In Aid Of The SA Bushfires

Posted on

We’ve compiled a list of some of the relief efforts seeking donations, with an explanation as to where your donation will be going, and what it will be helping to achieve.

Following the devastating fires that tore through the Adelaide Hills on Friday December 20, there has been significant loss in the local community.

In a show of community spirit, bushfire relief efforts have been abundant. However, with the many places to donate, it can be difficult to decide what you would like to contribute to.

We have compiled a list of some of the relief efforts seeking donations, with an explanation as to where your donation will be going, and what it will be helping to achieve.

We will continue adding to this guide in the coming days. We have no financial affiliations with any of these organisations.
