Further to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal organised by Wymap, members may be interested to know that your generosity and support resulted in over 38 pallets of goods donated in Sydney and a further 10 in Melbourne.

Lindsay Sharp, GM operations for Wymap said that Qantas then put their support behind the appeal and allowed goods to be consolidated at the Qantas Freight Terminal 2 in Sydney and in Melbourne, donations were lodged at the Wymap terminal in Tullamarine.

The type of goods varied greatly, including new and used appliances, clothing, footwear and kitchen utensils. The response was fantastic, the cut-off date having to be extended after a number of forwarders asked for more time to get their own in house appeals finalised.
