Does anybody know.
Coles were going to donate all profits made on 13/2/2009 to the 2009 Victorian Bushfire appeal.

I'm so upset to see what's happened in Victoria with the bushfires. I was wondering how we can help? I've got heaps of spare clothes that I was about to donate to charity but I think they'd be better used in Victoria for the victims. Also how can you donate money?
