Fire & Water – Bartercard Launches An Australia Wide Appeal

Announcement posted by Bartercard AU 27 Feb 2020

Bartercard Australia has partnered with One Light Charity Foundation to help people and animals urgently in need of water to fight the bushfires around the country.

All funds raised will go towards clean drinking water and to registered charities that are directly supporting those affected by the terrible fires. With the weather yet to turn helpful Bartercard has stepped in to help the country that needs water for fires, the people and the animals.

Clients can make a trade dollar contribution or drop off water to the local Bartercard Office. “Many people and animals urgently need water. We have seen over the past few weeks an absolutely astonishing set of bushfires still burning around Australia. Surreal images like those of evacuees fleeing to beaches or boats for safety. The situation has been particularly dangerous in Victoria and New South Wales, where fires have surrounded Sydney, choking the air with smoke. Bartercard Australia, in partnership with One Light Charity Foundation, will be taking donations of water and other means so that we may donate to scorched and drought-ravaged parts of Australia,” the company announced in a statement recently.

Australia’s devastating and prolonged bushfire season has killed 33 people and an estimated 1 billion native animals since September. About 2,500 homes have been destroyed and more than 11.7 million hectares (2.8 million acres) of tinder-dry bushland have been razed.

Bartercard provides an immense online marketplace for companies to barter their products and services with other companies. It is the world's largest cashless business networking platform and is designed for business expansion and increased profits. They provide the opportunity to network with other brands and open up Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Perth business to a whole other market of potential customers around the world.
