While many families and individuals have been affected by the New South Wales Bushfires, the Australian Red Cross is lending lots of love and support to those in need. Hundreds of staff and volunteers are in evacuation centres across New South Wales (NSW) in Springwood, Lithgow and North Richmond.
The volunteers are working around the clock helping out and providing a comforting shoulder for the thousands who face an uncertain future. The Red Cross is also assisting people to find out about the safety of family and friends.
While the flames continue to burn, the Red Cross continues to respond.
These fires are a reminder to all of us to have a plan. To learn more about the communities affected by the devastating fires, read these stories of families and volunteers.
