In November 2021, a new chapter of the International Fellowships of Flying Rotarians was chartered in Lviv, Ukraine. Within months, war broke out with Russia and the new friendships became critical connections for support and supplies. Rotary’s global network has sent millions of dollars’ worth of relief and medical supplies to help the people of Ukraine. which bring together members who have a shared interest or hobby, have amplified the impact of these efforts. |
What started out as simply collecting socks for the homeless
this winter grew into something much more,
due to the wonderful contributions and generous donations
of our amazing local residents, as well as support from the
Working closely with the Perth City Homeless Group,
the club’s Homeless Working Group was able to provide,
not only over 300 pairs of socks for distribution but also managed
to put together 32 backpacks for men and women
for donation to the needy.
Each backpack carried a tag identifying that it was a donation
from the Rotary Club of Karrinyup.
Recently these were delivered for distribution by the
Perth City Homeless Support Group.
According to the Zero Project, in December 2021 there were 1,001
people known to be living homeless in Perth and Fremantle.
We
know that number to be increasing at an alarming rate.
