Meanwhile, items that are desperately needed are the following: sunscreen, lip balm, hand sanitizers, spray deodorant, insect repellant, first aid items ( no medications), toiletries (ladies items included), new underwear and socks, baby items (nappies , nappy disposal bags, wipes, food & formula), batteries (AA + AAA, Long life food & milk, bottled water, electrolyte drinks ( no energy drinks), muesli bars, snack size chocolates, snack size chips, Le snacks, Up & gos, Zip Lock bags, lollies and cans of soft drink.
At this stage they do not need clothes, shoes or furniture. That will come at a later date.
Donations can be delivered to the Bay Removals depot situated between Mogo and Moruya on the Princes Highway.
"From there I will box everything separately into items," Jo said.
"Once all donations are boxed we will then personally deliver them to the fire affected area. Please deliver between business hours 8:30 to 5:30 daily if you can't make this time please contact me to make arrangements! Thank you in advance - every little bit helps"
