Cans for Christmas collection 2021

Thank you to all residents who assisted the Cans for Christmas collection on 05 December, 2021.

Members, family and friends of the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour (RCWE) banded together during the week leading up to Sunday 05 December to hand out flyers to households in Daglish, Jolimont, Subiaco, Wembley and West Leederville. Residents were requested to leave non-perishable food at their gate for pickup on Sunday 05 December.

On collection day, 25-30 collectors visited informed households to pick up their contributions. People left cans, bags and jars of food at the front of their properties. This was loaded into volunteers vehicles and delivered to a members garage where it was sorted and placed into 240 litre wheelie bins for delivery to Foodbank.

Six hundred and ninety eight (698) kg was collected for distribution to the needy. Foodbank consider this amount of food is equivalent to 1258 meals. Foodbank were indeed happy to receive such generous donations. Below is a photograph of some of the food collected and a few of the volunteers who helped. Thank you also to the volunteers.
