GME supports drought fundraising campaign

This year has been one of the driest in recent history, with many rural communities, farmers and livestock suffering the impact of a severe drought.

Australian company GME is undertaking a Drought Relief Fundraising Campaign to help raise much-needed funds for the Buy A Bale Drought Assistance Campaign.

The Buy A Bale Drought Assistance Campaign is operated by the charity Rural Aid and operates throughout Australia. Buy A Bale has been operating since June 2013, and over the past five years has received more than $4.5 million in donations and delivered over 200,000 bales of hay to farmers in need across four states.

To assist in raising these funds, GME will run an XRS Connect Drought Relief Promotion. From 15 August until 15 September 2018, the company will donate 10% of revenue generated from the purchase of selected XRS products directly to Buy A Bale.

The funds raised will have an immediate impact on supplying vital resources to farmers, such as:

• Water — every $250 delivers 11,500 litres of water to a farm within 100 kilometres of the collection point.
• Hay — $9500 buys a semitrailer load of hay and transports it to an affected area up to 900 kilometres away.
