In November, the City of Canning launched a brand-new service for residents seeking to give their quality pre-loved items a new home.   In a West Australian local government first, the City of Canning partnered with Good Sammy Enterprises, a much-loved local charity, to offer residents an on-demand donation collection service for a trial period of 12 months.   This innovative partnership will help promote the benefits of a circular economy and will make donating good quality items even easier for residents, while reducing waste and creating job opportunities for Western Australians with disabilities.

Did you know Australians gave $13 billion to charities in 2021 and 6 million of us volunteered in 2022? Incredible, right? But as we step into 2025, the need for community support is greater than ever. At the Frank Montagnese Foundation, we make sure every dollar truly counts by working with not-for-profits that deliver life-changing results—like helping over 50 people rebuild their lives with shelter and job training. Philanthropy isn’t just about money—it’s about connection, care, and creating a brighter future. Together, we can fill the gaps and make real change happen.
