Give a damn, give a can

A Rotary Club of Fremantle project

This project involves the collection of cans of food suitable for use by organisations distributing food to people in need.  Residents in the Fremantle, East Fremantle and North Fremantle suburbs will be asked to leave bags of cans on their front verge between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday 16th May.

Bio degradable plastic bags will be inserted into the Fremantle Herald newspaper which delivers to households and businesses in Fremantle, East Fremantle and North Fremantle.

The cans will be collected and taken to a central collection point at a public park. Beneficiary organisations will collect their share of the cans from that venue.
Rotary hopes to involve other groups in the collection process, in particular schools, churches, businesses, sporting groups etc.

The wider public will be approached to act as street captains to assist with the collections in their street.

Sponsorships will be sought to cover costs of bags, promotional material and a sausage sizzle for all volunteers on collection day.

The proposed beneficiary organisations are St Pats, Anglicare, Wesley Mission and Salvation Army.

We will be looking for Volunteers to assist with this event.
