Making a difference... you can too
People will do amazing things when given an opportunity.
 
This simple philosophy inspires Applecross Rotary's members: both locally and further afield. 
 
We are from all walks of life - we are marketeers, scientists, educators, farmers, engineers, lawyers  and retailers: the list goes on - and we range in age from early 20s through to 80. The commonality we share is an interest to use our time, skills and energy to improve the lives of others. And we have fun while we do it.
 
Our projects are equally varied. From our much-loved Rotary Jacaranda Festival, the Pride of Workmanship Awards, a local Art Show and Sale, numerous youth initiatives as well as supporting indigenous, mental health and women's refuge projects and delivering major health and water based projects around the world that will save thousands of lives.... we're an ambitious club with the power to get things done.

Today's the day. Give A Feed 2026 is officially open. 

Since 2011, West Australians like you have shared more than 42,000 Give A Feed hampers with families doing it tough. Every one carries the same message: someone is thinking of you.

This Christmas the need is bigger than ever. Around 231,000 WA households are severely food insecure, and more and more of them have children.

WHO IS GIVE A FEED?

It's more than a hamper.

It's connection and a conversation that tells a family doing it tough: you're not alone. Enjoy Christmas!

Give A Feed is WA's Christmas hamper appeal. Wayne Smith and Aaron Pitt started it in 2011 with Foodbank WA and Rotary WA, to help families in need at Christmas so they can feel the Christmas spirit.

Every $50 hamper feeds a family of four, and 100% of every donation goes to Foodbank WA, so it's fully tax deductible. Hampers reach women and children through women's refuges and Child Protection, and 200 go to First Nations communities each year.

Applecross Rotary Give A Feed, you can too!

 


 

 

 

What started as a simple act of community spirit has turned into something truly remarkable. Attendees of the Father's Day Perth Makers Market at Goolugatup Heathcote in Applecross on Sunday 6 September collectively donated $5,000 through voluntary parking donations, and when Applecross Rotary increased their donations, some markedly, the combined contribution reached $10,000 for the RAWCS Nepal Flooding Disaster Relief Fund.

 

Change your community with us by volunteering on a local project.

We work with groups and organisations of all sizes.

Be a part of something - with you we can achieve even more!
