Residents have been urged to turn their attention to Taree Lions Club's bushfire appeal. Club president George Greaves said cash donations will ensure specific needs of bushfire victims can be met.
"The need is for cash so it can be directed to prioritised needs," George said.
"Water and farmers need for fodder and stock fencing are also important.
"Although we are extremely thankful for the generosity and love shown - unfortunately, carloads and truckloads donating goods that have not been approved in advance can create challenges for those on the ground in the Manning Valley volunteering to support the recovery process."
Donations to the appeal can be made at www.gofundme.com/f/midcoast-bush-fire-relief?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet
Cash donations are required to pay for fencing and livestock needs as well as getting those who have lost everything back on their feet.
Metal bathtubs, volumes of water and fodder are needed.
Volunteers have been overwhelmed by supplies such as food, water and toiletries to the point where they can no longer house them.
Volunteer Gabby Wyse was lost for words when describing the impact all donations have made.
"We are ever so grateful and you have no idea what this means to us as a community and for the bushfire victims," Gabby said.
"I'm so proud to say I'm from this community. We are so overwhelmed and we're so grateful for your generosity.
"It warms our hearts, I can't express in words about how grateful we are."
Boxes continue to be unpacked and sorted to begin delivery to bushfire victims.
A 'mega donation' from the Canterbury-Bankstown community put the Taree Showground's disaster relief centre at capacity.
It was organised by Lighthouse Community Support, Bankstown PCYC and the GWS Giants community team and took just two days to come together.
The group worked with relief centre volunteers to unpack the truck, which was filled with care packages and slabs of bottled water.
The packages included food and toiletries.
As one of the key leaders of the group, Canterbury-Bankstown Council deputy mayor Bilal El-Hayek said the project started small and grew to include almost seven tonnes worth of stock.
"This is from all the people in Canterbury-Bankstown- they're thinking of you guys," Bilal said.
"Everything you see here we have just organised, we haven't paid a cent.
"The support from the community of Canterbury-Bankstown has been phenomenal."
There were many examples of kindness.
A woman said she couldn't afford to purchase items to donate so instead handed in a bag filled with the only items left in her pantry.
"She said 'they need it more than I do at the moment'," Bilal said.
Some people had to be turned away once the truck was filled.
The generosity shown certainly tugged on the heartstrings.
"As the deputy mayor (of Canterbury-Bankstown) this gives me so much pride and puts a tear in my eye," Bilal said.
"This is what Australia is all about."
Lighthouse Community Support's Gandhi Sindyan said donations came from "all walks of life."
"It came from primary schools, high schools and people of all faiths and backgrounds," Gandhi said.
"We feel their pain. We were born here like everyone else and no matter how far and wide we are we can do the best we can to help.
"It's all about Australians coming together."
The group also dropped supplies to other relief centres on the north coast. Another trip could be on the cards in the coming weeks.
