ADRA SA

Congratulations to our volunteer manager Graham and his wife Jean on receiving the 2024 Barker Volunteer Award for their services to our Riverland ADRA Community Pantry. They both contribute many hours to ensure there are affordable products for those who are challenged with finances. Thanks for your leadership.

We are grateful for the Mid Murray’s council grant for supplying a freezer to support our Mannum community.

Food for thought.

Before ADRA, Maria and her husband were harvesting vegetables once a month, earning $20 each time.

Providing for the family was difficult, especially in the dry season. But thanks to the strawberry seeds she received from ADRA, Maria can harvest her strawberries weekly, earning $30 each time.

Now Maria’s family are able to meet their basic needs.

Despite the weather a great day of friendship, food and fun was had by all. A joint event by ADRA SA and the conference youth department with our Ukrane friends.

ADRA thanks Morphett Vale Adventist Church for their Hands of Hope concert that has raised nearly $13,000 for ADRA’s work supporting displaced Ukrainians. This is a fantastic response that will assist many Ukrainians with food, shelter, bedding and clothing. Thanks!

Re. Mt Barker Opshop

To Our Valued Customers

Unfortunately we have had to make the decision to close our doors.

We will cease trading and close our doors by close of business Friday 28 January 2022. Come and grab a bargain, we are reducing our prices to clear everything in store. Everything must go.

We’d like to thank our faithful donors and customers who have supported us over the years. Without you, we could not have achieved what we have. Come and say goodbye.

We’d also like to thank all our dedicated volunteers who have served over the years. You mean the world to us.

Please, no more donations. Perhaps you may wish to support Vinnies Mt Barker in Gawler Street and The Salvation Army in Dutton St, who, we are sure would be very grateful for your donation.

Thank you for your support of the ADRA Appeal this October! 🙏 With your help, more than 100 community projects right here in Australia will receive the support they need to continue to provide essential services to people who would otherwise fall between the cracks. To everyone who fundraised on our behalf, ran or attended a masterclass, or donated, we see you and we are so grateful 💚
