Blackmores 7th Annual Christmas Hamper Distribution

The Rotary Club of Blacktown City is very grateful today for the generosity of Rotarians for their precious time and especially Blackmores for the 7th year contributing to four major charities in our area who try and make this time of the year a little easier, a little less worrying, and a lot more joyful for 200 families
who are experiencing hardships.

Blackmores purchase 15 items for each of the 200 boxes they gift these charities. With a little bit of muscle and time from good people like Gary Raymond, Rhonda and Tony Orr, Philippa Lovely, Keith Waller, David and Lynette Bamford, Judy, Spiro and our friends from ADRA (Adventist Development & Relief Agency) and the Salvos at Blacktown. We broke our own record today – all done in 40 minutes.
