Rotary Donations in Kind West Footscray is a volunteer-based recycling facility , part of Rotary’s Donations in Kind Network, a Rotary International Service project. DIK collects and redistributes goods, principally donated by companies, hospitals and educational institutions. The goods it distributes are destined for developing countries and to disadvantaged individuals in the local community. They are distributed through Rotary club projects and the wider NGO network.
From where are the goods collected?
DIK West Footscray receive and collect goods in Melbourne and some locations in regional Victoria. There are additional DIK stores in Geelong and most capital cities. DIK relies on Rotary clubs to identify where goods are available for donation in their area and to coordinate collection of suitable material.
DIK provides a volunteer-run limited pick-up service for larger quantities in the Melbourne metropolitan area and will collect goods by prior arrangement. Smaller quantities should be delivered to the Store by the donor or a Rotary Club.
How are the goods distributed?
A significant amount of unallocated goods are available for Rotary club projects. For international projects, Rotary clubs determine the needs, establish the specific country importation requirements and fund the transport and delivery costs. For local projects, goods are distributed by Rotary clubs on an as-needed basis. Surplus goods may also be available for community service organisations who share similar goals.
