This former Lifeline store manager says he resigned in disgust when boxes of donated items were sold instead of being given to flood victims.
Former Lifeline store manager Ethan Smith says he resigned in disgust after boxes of donated items were sold in Lifeline stores when they were intended for flood victims.
After a few weeks and thousands of tonnes of donated items being trucked to the distribution centre each day, Mr Smith began to notice things change. "The people who are donating these items are donating them specifically … to go to flood victims for free," he said. He said the distribution centre was set up at short notice by Lifeline at Lismore City Council's request.
