A group of women did not mind traveling for hours with trucks of supplies just to show support for the servicemen who had been out in the woods trying to contain the massive bushfires in Australia.

Ladies of the Australian Islamic Centre in Newport, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne, a CNN report said, had to travel for four hours to Johnsville with five trucks filled with goods and donated supplies, which were later distributed to victims.

They used social media to get the word out that the center was collecting supplies such as female hygiene products, water bottles, milk, baby wipes, and fresh fruit. On Friday after prayer service, the center hosted a sausage sizzle, selling plates of food to raise money for the bushfire victims.

But the ladies’ mission did not end there. It was disclosed that they also cooked meals for the around 150 exhausted Australian firefighters.

In a video posted on the organization’s page on Facebook, one of the firefighters expressed his and his colleagues’ gratitude for the simple effort of the ladies.

“I extend the thanks from the fire-affected areas. I have just been on the phone to the captain down there and he nearly broke into tears when I told him what we are bringing in for them today,” Rodney Baylis said.

According to Elhouli, who oversees the organization’s online public relation, the Australian Islamic Centre started sketching their plan to help the firefighters, who had been out there trying to put out the massive fire for several months now, through social media.
