On 21/10/2021 a number of intrepid Glenferrie Rotarians converged on the RIMERN(Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network) warehouse at the corner of Moreland Road and Lincoln Street, East Brunswick. As shown in the accompaning photos, the warehouse is well set-up with two levels of stored furniture, bedding, kitchen items and all manner of electrical white-goods. These items have all been donated and only retained for distribution if deemed to be of reasonable quality. RIMERN has been established for 3 months and has already supplied complete packages for setting up a new home, be it an apartment or unit for 14 clients.
Our morning commenced with an overview and some instruction from Susie Cole, followed by work punctuated by moments of laughter and generally friendly banter. Work consisted of unloading a truck, cataloging and cleaning donated household items as well making up a home package for a client. Many thanks to David Fallick, Cheryl Pisterman, Kay and Geoff Widmer who accompanied myself during the morning.
