ABC Adelaide Newsletter
 

Hello Everyone,

Well, what an incredible few days, and I hope you’re all staying well and managed to negotiate our South Australian ‘pause’!

We are indeed living in extraordinary times, and ABC Radio Adelaide will continue to be here for you – so keep calling and texting us. We are here for you, and I hope we are helping you get through it with a smile or two!

Unfortunately, we had to take our Food Drive online this year – it is such a pity because we were looking forward to seeing you all. Please get behind Foodbank SA with us and support our Virtual Food Drive here. We smashed our goal last year of 100,000 meals with your help, and I know we can do it again. Foodbank SA’s food relief services are in high demand, and we want to do all we can to help those already struggling in the lead up to Christmas. If you can spare a few dollars, it will go far. Just $1 equals two meals. We made a video for you, check it out here.
 
The weather is glorious but look after yourself in this heat, and I’ll meet you back on the radio just before 6 am each weekday.
