PROJECTS
CHATS is a 100% volunteer-run South Australian registered charity providing support to people sleeping rough and tough in Adelaide’s western suburbs. Support includes free clothes, Friday breakfasts, food, and more.
Our Club collects and forwards donated spectacles to the Recycle for Sight Australia program in Queensland, which then delivers them to people in need at no expense or obligation in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
Collection Point: Bailey Nelson – Optometrist.

The project was a joint initiative with the Lions Club of Charles Sturt and the Rotary Club of Charles Sturt/Grange, where two community food pantries have been installed. One at St Margaret’s Anglican Church at 791 Port Rd, Woodville, (corner of Port and Woodville Roads) and the other at the Woodville Uniting Church at 44 Woodville Rd, Woodville, (next to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital).
The pantries will have non-perishable items stocked for anyone to take what they need or give what they can.
With so many community members already in financial stress, some sleeping rough, coupled with the resulting economic climate brought about by COVID, the pantries will be a backup, no questions asked service for those who need food for themselves or their families. This free service is available 24 hours per day, and the pantries will be unlocked at all times. Thanks go to both St Margaret’s Anglican Church and the Woodville Uniting Church, who have consented to have the pantries installed on church grounds.
