We are absolutely devastated that the amazing farmers in Queensland just can’t catch a break. They have now gone from losing their cattle to drought, to losing them to drowning after they received 3 years worth of rain in just 10 days.

In Melbourne we raised almost $800 at the end of last year from a bake-sale alone, which was matched by the TAL Community Foundation and meant we were able to donate almost $1600 to “Buy a Bale”.
This time we are aiming higher for the farmers and am taking the campaign online.
The charity we are fundraising for is called : https://www.buyabale.com.au/
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated and will go towards helping farmers across the country, but in particular in Queensland with hay, water, groceries, diesel, counselling and more.
"Funds will be sent by mycause directly to your nominated charity at the start of each month."
In June 2013 after reading the plight of Australian and predominantly Qld farmers who were destroying their cattle and some being forced off their land, the team at The Give Back Campaign decided to do something about it. After some brainstorming it was decided the best thing to do was to ask Australians to Buy a Bale of Hay and the feed would be delivered where it was most needed.
