Queensland Press joins forces with Vinnies

The Queensland Country Press Association (QCPA) along with your local newspaper has joined forces with Vinnies Queensland to support thousands of Queenslanders affected by the recent floods.

This record event has seen homes destroyed, possessions washed away, lives put on hold and even tragedies.

Queensland Country Press Association president Carlo Portella said Queenslanders have always come together to help one another, no matter what the crises.

“Whether it is floods, bushfires or cyclones, help is always at hand,” Mr Portella said.

“I encourage all Queenslanders to try to help those less fortunate by contributing to the St Vincent de Paul Society Flood Appeal.

“The devastating floods in south-east Queensland and New South Wales have seen many people left devastated and in great need of our help.

“A simple monetary donation, no matter how small, will help put the lives of those affected on the path to recovery.”

Vinnies Queensland CEO Kevin Mercer said, “We welcome the support from the Queensland Country Press Association and their community, as we work together to help flood-impacted Queenslanders rebuild their lives.”

“All funds raised through our Flood Appeal will provide immediate and long-term support to people in need – no matter how long someone’s recovery journey takes, we’ll be there to lend a helping hand.”

Please show your support by donating to the QCPA/ Vinnies Flood Relief Appeal at: bit.ly/vinniesqldfloodappeal

Donations close 30 April, 2022.
