In 2011 Bunnings has provided ongoing support to the relief efforts for the Queensland floods and Christchurch earthquake.
Queensland Premiers Disaster Relief Fund
Bunnings stores and customers across Australia and New Zealand helped raise more than $730,000 for the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal through a combination of donations and fundraising sausage sizzles.
Bunnings also committed a further $1 million to directly support impacted local communities in Queensland with their recovery and rebuilding efforts and has been actively supported by on-the-ground assistance from Bunnings Team Members.
Christchurch Earthquake Appeal
Over NZ$130,000 was raised for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal through Community Family Events held in Australian and New Zealand stores, along with BBQs held across New Zealand. Bunnings also contributed a further NZ$100,000 to the Appeal consisting of a $50,000 donation to the Red Cross and $50,000 to support local community projects in areas affected by the earthquake.
