Aussie Bread Tags for Wheelchairs

Some good news we could all do with right now …..
Our latest South African wheelchair recipient is Antoni. Antoni required a specialised wheelchair and his Mum and her community collected large amounts of plastic for recycling in order to supplement our contribution. We hope the wheelchair will make their family’s life a little easier, especially at this difficult time.

The Bottle Kids in Prestons came up with a novel way to pick up tags from their local McDonald’s while the coronavirus is a risk. Great to see such initiative in bread tag handover! Please do keep collecting your tags for us, even if you are not able to get them to your collection point right now. And if you do receive any tags, put them aside for several days before handling them, just in case. If you’d like to post your tags to us, the address is PO Box 1164, Kensington Gardens, SA 5068. You can even pay postage and print Auspost labels online so you don’t need to wait in the post office.
Stay safe and well, everyone.

Fantastic collection effort by Allendale Primary in Geraldton, WA : 200+kg of bread tags in under a year, enough to fund a wheelchair for someone in South Africa. Thank you!

Amazing to see what The Bottle Kids in Prestons NSW have achieved in 6 months – they spread the word and provided collection containers for their community, collecting from 16 families, 9 organisations and at one event. Thanks Colette (their Mum), for enabling this!

Thanks to the amazing Laura Baxter and hubby Jake for bringing this enormous quantity of tags (130kg) from Victoria in their caravan, and for shifting it on a 40 degree day in Adelaide!
