Remarkably, the Rotary Australia World Community service fund will match the donations of the West Kempsey Rotary Club dollar-for-dollar.
West Kempsey Rotary Club service director Brian Irvine was proud of the efforts of the rotary and the generosity of the community.
"It's great to be able to help those who have been affected in the local area by the fires," Mr Irvine told the Argus.
