Care And Share is now “Shop and Care”

Our Care and Share program has morphed into the “Shop and Care” program, which is now a much larger initiative taken up by a number of Rotary Clubs in the Adelaide Area.

Twice per year we set up our stall outside Woolworths at the Brickworks Market, and seek donations of non-perishable goods from the store’s customers. With consent of management we run the stall for three days mid year and at the end of the year. Once collected the donations are distributed to several charities in our local area.

We are always thankful to the general public who give so generously to support those people in need .

We maintain our on going support for  Food Bank.

The general demand for support from the Food Bank hubs located across the state has risen. Our current practices involve the preparation of family food packs for distribution through those hubs, The clear increase in demand experienced over the past months is an one indication that more people are struggling under with the costs of living. Our actions are helping serve the needs or some families.

We still maintain two teams, one of which is centered Rotary members while the second is staffed by Friends of Rotary. Currently one of our teams works each Monday of the month.
