Rotary responds to flood relief for families at Rochester, Victoria.
Bikes for Rochester project
Rotary club of Bentleigh Moorabbin Central and Rotary club of Rochester, Victoria
December 2022
Merry Christmas to the kids at Rochester.
Rotary takes up the call to help bring cheer to
Our project began well before the floods hit Rochester. Our rotaryClub, in partnership with
After exhausting offers to gift the bikes to major charities, the owner Elaine Brodie contacted our Club to see if we could use them; otherwise, they were being disposedof in the landfill.
Immediately we thought that there must be kids in country areaswho would love a bike. With the lease at the traffic school forcing imminent closure, storage became an issue.
The recent floods in upper and central Victorian towns that dotted the river systems have been well reported in news cycles. So many families lost their homes and possessions and were displaced without a roof or belongings. Country towns faced devastation at a joyous time of the year, Christmas.
Several Bentleigh Moorabbin Central Rotary Club members, including one Scout, made the trip to Rochester to deliver and hand out the bikes.
What a great afternoon as Rotary delivered cheer to a much-needed town. It was an emotional afternoon as we proceeded to hand out bikes to the local children, who were so excited to receivea bike. Many of the children's bikes had previously floated away in the floods. Over 60 bikes were transported and handed over to children on the day, and another 20 tricycles for younger children were donated to the local childcare center.
The children attended with Mum and Dad and chose their bikes. The look of surprise and pleasure on both parents and children's faces made the entire project more than worthwhile.
Rotary and its network helped us considerably. We thank Simon Wheelton, Rotary Club of Box Hill/Burwood, for supplying the budget rental truck ata highly discounted price for our use and for his cooperation in assisting us in bringing this project to fruition.
Thanks also to Colin at Budget Truck rentals, Highett depot, forexceptional service and assistance- going beyond the call of duty and helping us to make this project happen.
A fantastic partnership between Rotary clubs, Scouts, and local businesses that ticked all the boxes of a community engagement and flood relief project.
