Rotary Kalamunda, together with the Soroptimists WA

 and the Rotaract Clubs of Swan and Belmont

are extremely proud to support Foodbank WA

and help those in need at this Christmas time.

We will be holding a food drive on Dec 9, 2023, from 8am – 2pm

 at the following locations: Coles in Kalamunda, High Wycombe, and Swan View,

 at Woolworths in Kalamunda, Dunseith Village (Perth Airport)

 and at Aldi Kalamunda.

We all believe that everyone should have access to a healthy meal.

 However, there are Western Australians going without every day.

and Foodbank WA are working hard to change that. In the last financial year,

 Foodbank WA has provided almost 7.8 million meals.

 to Western Australians through their charity partners and schools.

Please come and support this fantastic initiative.
