January 2020 - Public Donations to SA Bushfire Disasters

The community of South Australia has shown incredible generosity and support towards bushfire victims and our firefighters. The CFS encourages the public to direct their support to the victims and families impacted by these bushfires.

A financial donation is the most helpful way that you can contribute to disaster-affected communities. It helps those impacted to buy exactly what they need and spend the funds within their local community.

If you would like to help those affected by the December bushfires in South Australia, you can make a financial donation online through  St Vincent de Paul Society. All donations are tax deductible, with the money going directly to those affected.    www.vinnies.org.au/SABushfireAppeal

The donation of goods is not encouraged as it can pose challenges to administer, store, distribute and dispose of the goods. It also might not meet the needs of people affected by the disaster.​

The public wishing to donate to the CFS and its volunteers can do so through the CFS Foundation:

CFS Foundation Inc
1300 270 278

PO Box 4197 Norwood SA 5067 AUSTRALIA

The CFS can not accept donations or goods at any of its CFS Stations
