However, you can still donate supermarket vouchers from Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, BigW and Target, please mail these to: PO BOX 8547, Perth, 6849.
Mobile Phones
Many of our clients in detention are in need of a mobile and are on the waiting to list to receive one – so we need your help!
We want to thank our very generous community for the great donation of mobile phones for our clients both in the community and in detention. These phones make a huge difference for people trying to call us and their families from detention. We are still calling for more phone, however they must be:
· Unlocked – we cannot unlock them
· At least 4G reception as our clients are in detention in regional areas
· They must come with a charger.
Please have a look around the house and drop them into us at the CARAD office.
