All The Bushfire Fundraising Initiatives Happening This Week

Over the past several weeks, the Australian public has united like nothing we've ever seen before. Social media has been flooded with calls to support the Australian Rural Fire Services and Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation, among other incredible organisations, to aid those affected by the ongoing and devastating bushfires. The impact has been felt worldwide, with Hollywood A-listers using the Golden Globes as a platform to raise awareness.

Kristin Fisher Eyebrows Markets

What started as a lone effort to help raise funds for those in need, Kristin Fisher's market idea quickly grew to involve over 300 brands. The event, which is taking place on Saturday, January 11th, will be set up like a traditional market with all money raised going to various organisations, including the RedCross, RFS and WIRES. Some brands involved include Nobody Denim, Style Runner, Swiish, Beysis, Trove, An Organised Life, Meshki, Lexi Clothing and KX Double Bay - which does not even begin to scratch the surface. There will be no set price on items, with Fisher asking for customers to donate "what you can and as generously as you can".

What you need to know:

Where: Guilfoyle Place, Double Bay NSW

When: Saturday, January 11th, from 9am

Spend With Them

Among the many homes and wildlife that have been lost during the fires, local businesses' in the towns affected have also suffered greatly. A lot of these towns rely on tourist dollars for their survival, which is why initiatives like Turia Pitt's 'Spend With Them' are so important. Spend With Them is an account which features businesses in fire-affected towns. There, the public can purchase from those who really need it. Pitt says, "Spend your money with the people and the communities who really, truly need it. They need you. We need you."

This legend @miltonmushrooms is a mushroom grower on the south coast. Marita's property was burned when fires swept through it twice in the last few weeks. Miraculously the house (and her 20 year old donkey) survived but the rest of the property was badly burned. You can #spendwiththem by picking up locally designed greeting cards, stickers, tote bags, zines, and her incredible Reishi Spiced Cacao and Just Reishi mushroom powders. Visit miltonmushrooms.com.au ❤️🍄

Hearts On Fire

Hearts On Fire is an online auction of experiences within the world of fashion, food, travel and the arts, to raise funds for those affected by the bushfires. More information to come.
