As our community continues to support one another through recovery, we wish to let you know that the emergency relief from the Longwood Hay Depot will be closing up operations tomorrow Friday, 23 January 2026 at 2pm.
Over recent weeks, thousands of bales of hay, countless bags of fodder, and many other essential supplies have been distributed to those in need, a true reflection of the strength and generosity of our community, and those across Australia.
Moving forward, the VFF (https://www.vff.org.au/) will be coordinating farmersโ requirements and registering & reimbursing transporters, and BlazeAid (https://blazeaid.com.au/) will continue fencing operations from the Euroa Showgrounds.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Tubb Family and every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and kindness. Your generosity has made an enormous difference and will not be forgotten.
Please continue to look after one another, and thank you for the incredible spirit that has been shown. ๐
