OMG! Donuts for Donations

By Diane O'Reilly

Donuts for Donations

Having been flooded ourselves both at home and in our business, this year and also in 2011, we have experienced first hand the aftermath of the clean up mess and filth and have learned to appreciate how much it means to a have a shower and clean clothes at the end of the day.   

We were more fortunate than many this year, and were able to get our business back and up running within 7 days.  The very first thing we wanted to do was help others who were in far worse shape than ourselves.  We knew the amazing work of Orange Sky Australia and having done about 100 loads of washing (for ourselves, for friends and neighbours and for the business) - we thought that supporting the amazing work of Orange Sky Australia would be the most practical way of helping others through these hideous floods and the aftermath. 

So we started a little thing called "Donuts for Donations" rewarding people for making donations to Orange Sky, by giving them our donuts.  

We've also been making donut donations to flood impacted people.    

It started as a one day at our flagship store in Brisbane but has grown and grown and our new lofty goal is now to raise $10,000.  That's equates to about 400 loads of washing.   It's not enough, but it's something. 

Providing clean laundry to flood impacted people, and others who need help is one of the kindest and most practical things we can do.  Orange Sky Australia with their mobile laundry and shower vans are now deployed through flood ravaged regions from Gympie to Sydney, Lismore, Ipswich, Brisbane and throughout the Northern Rivers of NSW.    

Thank you for considering making a donation.  You are making a difference.  

Thank you to my Sponsors

Di, your own home and business were flood affected and now, as usual, you’re thinking of others! I bless the day we met. And urge everyone to bite on a decadent donut (forget the diet) and donate to the wonderful Orange Sky Mobile Laundry service that’s helping us gradually recover we 🙏💪❤️
