12.01.2022 CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL Each year MarionLIFE distributes Christmas Hampers to families in need during this often stressful time of year. Hampers include a wide range of staple food and Christmas goodies like tinned leg ham and mince pies. Thanks to our partnership with Foodbank SA, we are able to purchase wonderful prepacked hampers at a heavily reduced cost, but there is a huge demand that we would be unable to meet without support from the wider community. Are you able to m...ake a financial donation to help cover this cost? We’re seeking donations of $35 per hamper and are hoping to provide 100 hampers this year. Donations are tax deductible and the following giving options are available: Online: www.givenow.com.au/marionlife In person: 887 Marion Rd, Mitchell Park Post: PO Box 380, Park Holme, SA, 5043 PS today Tuesday 1 December is GivingTuesday a global day of giving.

01.01.2022 RIP Brian Gardiner. We were saddened to hear of the recent passing of former MarionLIFE Volunteer Brian. Brian volunteered for MarionLIFE for many years and was integral in starting both our Community Garden and Christmas Day Lunch. ... Brian was the winner of the Autumn Sustainable Lifestyles Challenge in 2011, he said at the time "Grow as much of your own food as you can, use organic gardening methods as much as possible and try community gardening - it's a wonderful networking opportunity". Our thoughts are with those who were close to Brian at this time.

01.01.2022 We are delighted to receive some hand sanitisers to help stop the spread of germs - thank you TerryWhite Chemmart Marion Compounding! #TerryWhiteChemists #KeepingSafe
