RIVERVIEW COMMUNITY SERVICES PARTNERS WITH AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS
Dear Community Partners and Friends,
The widespread devastation and tragedy currently faced by the Victorian people has left West Australian's asking how we help. Riverview Community Services has been in discussions with a number of relief agencies on the ground and operating in the disaster areas, to ascertain our best course of action to support the relief effort.
As a result I am pleased to advise that we are partnering with the Australian Red Cross in order to collect financial donations. All donations are tax deductible and 100% of the money will go to the Bushfire Appeal. Please be aware that the receipts will be forwarded to you directly from the Red Cross.
Listed below are the various ways that each of us we can assist in the relief effort.
