COOKING FOR RELIEF: Pitching-in for a good cause are Burra Foods staff (L-R) Zavier Harris, Susan Maskell, Melissa Nichol, Colin Brown and Charles Pearce, who were part of a bushfire fundraising barbecue at the Burra plant at Korumburra. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MILK processor Burra Foods will donate more than $50,000 to help people impacted by the recent Victorian bushfires.<\/p>\n

The money will go to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal and it includes proceeds of the production run at Burra\u2019s Korumburra plant on Friday, as well as a barbecue fundraiser and contributions from staff.<\/p>\n

Burra Foods CEO Stewart Carson said the scale of the fires and devastation at the loss of lives had rocked the entire Burra community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impact on our wider community has been devastating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Burra Foods community has once again come together to raise funds for those impacted in East Gippsland and North East Victoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next two weeks we will be holding other events to raise money for Wildlife Victoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Carson said fundraising efforts has also been supported by their loyal network of customers, suppliers and milk supply partners, in a bid to raise more funds to help with the bushfire recovery.<\/p>\n

He was heartened by how the Burra community came together in times of need and said assistance for those impacted by the fires, wildlife and livestock included, would be required for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cUnfortunately, Victoria\u2019s bushfire season is far from over and it will take many months and even years for communities to fully recover,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
