It is terrific to see the level of support by newsagents and suppliers for Victorian bushfire relief appeals. I know from conversations yesterday that this is of comfort to people on the front line – those personally affected and those supporting them.
From spare change collected at our counters to support for magazines raising funds from sales (New Idea, Woman’s Day, Take 5, That’s Life, OK! and Who) to collecting product for donation to practical help. Those newsagents and newsagent suppliers who have supported fundraising and other efforts ought to be proud not only of their efforts but also of demonstrating how the newsagency channel sevres the heart of our nation.
