Operation Veteran Assist is seeking donations to fund: Chainsaw maintenance - fuel / chains / oil Veterans - food / water / supplies Hawthorn sub Branch
Operation Veteran Assist is a veteran - led response to the bushfires that have ravaged Australia over the 2019 / 2020 summer. Veterans are a natural fit to lead disaster response operations and are experienced, comfortable with and very used to dealing with adversity. Veterans are natural leaders in the community and are trained to operate in this type of disaster. The initial response will be into East Gippsland where the Royal Australian Navy is engaged evacuating civilians, the Royal Australian Air Force is dropping supplies to impacted communities and the Australian Army is supporting local authorities with a suite of capabilities. Operation Veteran Assist relies on the generosity of veterans and their families for funding this operation. Funding requirements are used for costs of chainsaw maintenance such as fuel, chains and oil, and veterans requirements of food, water and supplies enabling support to the veterans and their families impacted in these devastating fires. Donations to Operation Veteran Assist are via the Hawthorn RSL Sub - Branch who have generously provided Operation Veteran Assist with a $ 750 donation. 100 % of donations are spent on veterans, veteran families, in communities impacted by these bushfires. The link to their donation page ( PayPal enabled and secured ) is here and we ask that you add the note - OpVetAssist - so that your donation can be accurately and correctly accounted for.
