As part of the Uniting Church response to recent events, Uniting Vic/Tas has launched a Uniting Bushfire Appeal.  You can find the appeal at https://www.vt.uniting.org/uniting-vic-tas-2020-bushfire-appeal/

Uniting Vic/Tas is already engaged in many areas where the bushfires have struck and will continue be part of the response and recovery effort for the months ahead. To help meet gaps already identified and to enable longer term relief and recovery they have launched the appeal.

Brownyn Pike CEO of Uniting Vic/Tas said “As these local needs will be very different across the fire-affected areas and will continue to change, we are encouraging people to donate money that we can then use to quickly respond to whatever is needed.

The impact of these bushfires and the devastation they have caused will be felt in these communities for years. Uniting will be working locally with the community and closely with congregations and presbyteries in fire-affected areas to understand how best to serve these communities.”
