Invest and spend locally.
The "We LIVE Here" local investment cards work like an EFTPOS gift card once loaded, and are only be able to be used with participating businesses in the two shires, ensuring local expenditure and economic development for the region.
This program isn't just for retailers. Local businesses from health professionals, B2B, mechanics and more have all signed up to the program.
Australians are contributing to help those impacted by the drought with deliveries of water, feed and essential supplies. The cash donations are now able to be funneled by charities to the "We LIVE Here" gift card and provided to those in need as a result of the drought.
The more participating businesses we have, the greater choice individuals will have in how to use the funds.
The cards can be loaded with funds from $20 to $1000, can only be loaded once (no top ups) but can be used multiple times or spent all at once. They expire after three years. Purchasers can check card balances online or by phone, and registered cards can be replaced if lost.
