GIVIT IS THE OFFICIAL DONATION CHANNEL TO HELP PEOPLE AFFECTED BY TROPICAL CYCLONE NARELLE IN PARTS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA
GIVIT has partnered with the Western Australian Government to manage donations of goods, services and funds for people impacted by Tropical Cyclone Narelle in parts of the state.
GIVIT is currently working with services on the ground in Exmouth and surrounds to assess needs and register them through the Western Australian Disasters Appeal on GIVIT.org.au.
GIVIT WA Officer Sarah Visser said GIVIT works directly with councils, outreach teams, charities and community groups to identify exactly what’s needed to make sure people get what they need, when they need it.
“If you want to help people who have been impacted by this disaster, please donate through the GIVIT Western Australian Disasters Appeal with 100% of donated funds received by GIVIT used to buy exactly what’s needed for affected communities,” said Sarah.
Where possible, GIVIT uses donated funds to purchase items from local providers to support the economic recovery of impacted regions.
“Please do not send or take donations into impacted areas,” said Sarah.
“There is currently nowhere to store these donations, meaning they may quickly become unusable. Large amounts of unrequested donations also divert frontline workers from their primary role in response and recovery.”
If you have goods to donate that are not listed, please register them on www.givit.org.au/donate-items.
If you are a local charity or frontline service in need of donated goods and services, please register at givit.org.au/charity-registration.
