Vaughan Lawrence and the team at newsXpress Seymour raised $2,600 in five days for the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. Customers have been encouraged to donate direct to the Red Cross at their website and leave their change in the bucket at the counter. This is a campaign newsXpress developed with the Red Cross immediately after the fires. The money has been deposited into the Red Cross account and the receipt put on display for customers as recommended by newsXpress.
The support from the people shopping at newsXpress Seymour has been exceptional. $2,600 given in just five days shows heartfelt concern for bushfire victims.

Notice the challenge on the sign – let’s get another $3,000.
