When AFL team the Sydney Swans swept into Marrickville West Primary School last week you can imagine the fuss and excitement. Working together in partnership with Addi Road, the Swans were all the more popular for offering us a big helping hand at the MWPS’ Breakfast Club that is run at the school by Connect Marrickville.
Addi Road Food Pantry here in Marrickville is closing for another day. A barefoot schoolboy nearby, standing behind a tree, makes high calling sounds. “Is that a bird? Is that a bird?” a couple of women call out, as if they can’t see him.

Erin and her two children, Yasmin and Ali, came to help at Addi Road Food Relief Hub: “It just feels good to give back.”
