Every second month, Jenny Foster of Essendon RC organises a working bee at the Donations-in-Kind store in West Footscray. So on the first Saturday in May, we had many volunteers helping sort the donated goods in the medical aisles.
“Whatever do they use that for?” and "Would you like a hand with that?" were two of the commonest questions we heard, but there were enough nurses around to keep everyone informed.

Out of date goods were consigned to the rubbish bins, and lots of goodies were packaged for sending to needy countries.
Jenny had an orientation tour of the shed for new volunteers, and an information session over the morning tea break.
Around a dozen pallets were broken down and sorted, now we need clubs to commit to sending the goods overseas.
Special thanks to our Hawthorn members who worked so hard: Jane and Ian Bentley, Katrina Flinn, Denbigh Richards and Tilak Dissanayake.
