PROJECTS Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre
Rotarians providing support to Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre. This is what 4 pallets of food looks like, all packed into food parcels for those families in the local community requiring food assistance. Once the impact of COVID-19 was evident, the Club of Kincumber became involved providing support to the three Community Centres on the Central Coast with their food distribution programs. The Club has been hiring a 4-tonne truck on a monthly basis to travel from the Central Coast to Coles Second Bite Distribution Centre, Penrith to collect food. The food is delivered to three Neighbourhood Centre’s at Kincumber, Green Point and Kariong and then sorted and bagged by Kincumber Rotary Club members. These three Centres are currently distributing approximately 250 bags of food weekly to those families in need in the local community.

PROJECTS FIJI – Tropical Cyclone HAROLD COVID 19 PANDEMIC – No Tourism – 40% of GDP (gross domestiic product)
The Rotary Club of Kincumber held their weekly ZOOM meeting on Monday 11 May 2020. Assistant Governor Rotarian Milika Wata-Marshall, Rotary District 9920, Rotary Club of Lautoka, Fiji was our special guest speaker. Milika spoke the triple effects of the last few months on the Fijian people and Rotary Club of Lautoka response to these emergencies. Rotary Club of Lautoka started out assisting those in need during the pandemic. Then Hurricane Harold came through the Fiji islands leaving damaged homes, and further leaving people at a total loss of what would be on the table next. The worry of loss of income through unemployment was just as huge as losing possessions and livelihoods. We have partnered with Lautoka Ratepayers Association to deliver rations when we could not during the lock down period and we hope to be able to use them again in giving out assistance to those affected by the recent cyclone while still ensuring assistance to those affected by the pandemic can still meet their basic needs. What you may deem of no more use to you could be someone else’s treasure. Help Rotary Lautoka, help us help them. Every little bit counts.
FIJI – Update – Our friends of the Rotary Club of Lautoka Fiji have commenced distributing food parcels to local community families on the western side of Fiji affected by COVID-19 and no tourism.
