Rotary Donations in Kind West Footscray

27/10/2026

A member of the Rotary Club of Richmond, Isabel, was preparing to travel to Nepal following the devastating floods that caused widespread destruction to homes and roads, significant loss of life, and left many people still missing.

Isabel reached out to DIK, and we were delighted to assist by providing items to make use of the available space in her suitcases, helping deliver much-needed support to those affected by this disaster.

Thank you, Isabel, for sharing these beautiful photos and for making a difference to communities in need.

A few weeks ago, Ash spent the afternoon visiting the Rotary supported Rotary Donations in Kind West Footscray warehouse in West Footscray with Colleen and Bronwyn.

The scale of what their volunteers achieve is genuinely inspiring, re-purposing unwanted items from stationery to office furniture to medical equipment to organisations throughout Australia and overseas.

They welcome donations of all sizes and are happy to repurpose back into the local community as well. So before you go shopping for new items for your organisation, perhaps consider reaching out to Donations in Kind. Learn more - iwce.com.au/news

Rotary Club of Cranbourne Supporting Local Communities Through DIK

On Tuesday, the Rotary Club of Cranbourne, a valued Donations In Kind (DIK) member, made one of its regular visits to DIK, collecting a substantial quantity of items to support two local community projects.

Two local projects benefiting from this visit to DIK:

Transit Soup Kitchen and Food Support received soap, small first aid kits and laundry sanitiser to help support the people and families accessing its services.

Backpacks 4 Kids was able to replenish its shelves with much-needed footwear, tops and track pants for children in need.

DIK plays an important role in helping Rotary Clubs access a wide range of new items that can make a real difference to the communities they serve. By connecting available resources with local needs, DIK helps Rotary Clubs extend their reach and provide practical, meaningful support to those who need it most.

Our dedicated DIK volunteer team is continually amazed by the variety of community programs working to support people doing it tough. We are always looking for opportunities to connect these programs with available resources and find new ways to maximise the impact of the goods entrusted to us.

Together, Rotary Clubs and DIK turn donated goods into practical support, helping communities thrive.

A big thank you to Christine, a teacher at Bentleigh Secondary School, who generously repurposed these books and delivered them to Donations in Kind. 📚 Rather than going to waste, these books will enjoy a wonderful new life in the hands of students who can learn, grow and benefit from them. Giving resources a second life makes a real difference! 💚
