Clothing Donations for Lorne Community Opportunity Shop
Doug Robertson and Alan Seale last week were able to deliver substantial quantities of used but usable warm winter clothing to the Lorne Community Opportunity Shop. This followed an appeal Doug made to last week’s meeting after he became aware of the needs of vulnerable people in the Lorne Community. Stella O’Donnell, President of the Opportunity Shop and a participant in the local COVID 19 Support Group had told him that more winter weight clothing was required. Over 60 seasonal workers and backpackers will be spending winter in the town with little if any work. The Op Shop has also been offering food support to vulnerable people in the community.
Stella was delighted with the clothing donations, as were the other volunteers, and thanked Rotary Central Melbourne members for their support.
