Adelaide Central Market traders donate to Disadvantaged People

A major project for Adelaide West Club is our partnership with 3 local charities supporting Adelaide's homeless / disadvantaged and the traders of the Adelaide Central Market as we collect unsold fresh food and homeware products for use in our community, rather than see it wasted at the end of the trading week.

Centacare, one of our charities, manage a group of homes primarily dealing with the crisis of homeless youth including young single mothers.

Centacare offer them secure temporary accommodation and help them up onto their feet. A particular emphasis is building life skills to care for themselves and their children where applicable.

Adelaide West Club assists this terrific passion. We asked the wonderful traders of the Adelaide Central Market to donate any unsold food products to this cause.

Every fortnight, project manager Christine Tenni-Smith and her roster of volunteer helpers from Adelaide West Club visit around 20 traders in the Market on a Saturday Afternoon soon before closing time.

Products donated are immediately delivered to 3 local charities supporting the homeless, including Centacare, the Salvos and Anglicare.

To the end of 2014, around $80,000 worth of produce has been collected. Car loads full of healthy food choices.
