Aiding
Disaster Relief Efforts
Moose immediately donated funds for the victims of the 2009
Black Saturday Bushfire, plus hundreds of toys were distributed to
the children of the community. While nothing can truly fill
the loss this community experienced, it was a way to entertain and
distract children that survived a life changing, devastating
experience.
Moose will continue to show support for other natural disasters
that affect families and children.
