Funds raised through the Disaster Relief and Recovery Appeal, which runs to the end of August, will be distributed where they are needed most, ensuring community input.
Farmers in NSW, the ACT and Queensland in particular have been badly affected by prolonged dry weather conditions.
We are delighted Commonwealth Bank has generously contributed $1.75 million to our appeal, and I would like to congratulate them for acknowledging the growing need for support in communities affected by severe drought.
Red Cross is encouraging Australians to dig deep to support the effort, online at redcross.org.au/drought, by calling 1800 RED CROSS, or by donating in person at a Commonwealth Bank branch around the country.
