How to support those affected by the floods

WHEN disaster strikes, Lions roll up their sleeves and take action, and that’s exactly what is happening right now.

Australian Lions Foundation has launched a national appeal to assist those impacted by the current floods in QLD and NSW.

“In times of disaster, Australian Lions Foundation is focused on getting emergency support to communities in need as quickly as possible,” says foundation chairperson Tony Benbow OAM.

“Right now, Queensland and Northern NSW need Australia’s help.

“We know many of our Lions volunteers in affected areas are out there doing what they can to help. The national appeal gives Lions Clubs across Australia and members of the public an opportunity to help too.

“Every dollar raised will be sent directly to local Lions Clubs to provide emergency support to those in need.

“The Australian Lions Foundation has been providing emergency support to communities in need for decades. Over $4.6 million was raised and distributed in the recent Australian Lions Foundation National Bushfire Appeal and $1.9 million was raised and distributed to Flood Support last year.

“Through Lions’ incredible network of over 1200 clubs, we are able to deliver goods and support quickly and can be sure it will go to where it is needed most.”

Australians looking to make a donation and support those affected by the floods can do so through their local Lions Club or through donating directly to the Australian Lions Foundation.

Every dollar will go directly to supporting those affected.
