Why not turn your rubbish into dollars for a worthy cause..

As part of a National Lions Club project, the Johnsonville Lions Club collects wine bottle screw tops, the tabs off drink cans and other cans, beer bottle caps and the metal lids off jars and bottles. This metal is then taken to the recycler and the money earned goes to Kidney Kids (kids on dialyisis at Starship Hospital) and is used to fund camps, Christmas parties, education, newsletters, 0800 support line and packs for families.

Churton Park Community Centre (75 Lakewood Ave, Ph 830 4802)  is now a drop off point for your collections!! So bring in those tops and lids etc, Monday to Friday between 10am - 2pm and help raise money for kids on dialysis and their families. We will pass on your collections to Johnsonville Lions, who has over time raised hundreds of dollars for this worthy cause.
