The Rotary Club of Unley encourages the "mail must get through" concept as a fundraiser.

In 2019, The Club commenced saving used (and unused) postage stamps from all over the world, with sales being donated to 'MESHA – Military and Emergency Services Health Australia'. This organisation raises awareness and supports health and wellbeing research into conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress and programmes to support our veterans, first responders and their families.

Under COVID and Lockdown, hopefully, people may now write more letters and send cards.

In addition, the Festive season is fast approaching (less than six months until Christmas), readers are encouraged to save all their postage stamps from letters, birthday and Christmas cards, and other stamps throughout the year, and send them to:
"Stamps", Rotary Club of Unley, PO Box 18, Unley SA 5061
or drop them into the Unley Rotary Thrift Shop, 130 Unley Road, Unley, SA
