Call or text 0419594406

Just for those who genuinely wish to help but can't for whatever reason, I'll copy a post across from Facebook and then everyone has the opportunity.

Got word last night that the VFF administered, Vic. Government, taxpayer funded, Emergency Fodder Transport Operator Subsidy will finish next Friday week, just 4 weeks after the fires!
After that the fire victim farmers will be on their own.
What can we do about this? Complain to your local poliie?
Maybe, OR ...
We could give the biggest show of support yet by all doing our utmost to keep up the s...upply of emergency fodder to keep their stock fed and to keep the peoples spirits up with a show of strength on the next convoy. (details to come soon)
Tell someone who cares. Get them on board sourcing fodder donations. We need to keep the animals fed until their pastures grow again. Make a donation to pay for transport. ( see below)
Tell someone you care. Post a message of support on the Wellington Shire Council Mayor, Scott Rossetti facebook page (http://www.4x4earth.com.au/forum/general-4x4-discussion/23012-2013-gippsland-fires-volunteers-needed.html#).
He will be sure to pass it on as best he can, so they know we care.
You could make out a cheque to Need for Feed, and post it to Lions Club of Pakenham, P.O. Box 132 Pakenham 3810.
