The Rotary Club of Johnsonville has donated $9,000.00 to charities in May 2020.
This is to assist our local community at this time when many in our community are affected by financial strain due to the Covid 19 lockdown and its economic impact.
The Charities who received donations reflect the areas with the greatest needs at this time, such as the foodbanks and organisations helping families and young people cope at this time.

The donations were given to the following organisations, which operate in the local community:
Kiwi Community Assist (a foodbank) $4,000.00.
The Johnsonville Foodbank $2,000.00.
Challenge 2000 (which helps families and young people in our area) $1,500.00.
Life Education Trust (which helps younger children cope) $1,500.00.
All the organisations expressed their gratitude for the donations at this time.
