ACROSS the Glenelg Shire, a simple postcard is making a big difference – giving isolated individuals a much-needed lifeline by offering help.

The ‘hello neighbour’ postcards, distributed by United Way Glenelg, allow people to leave their name and phone number to volunteer to lend a helping hand for free, by offering to do such tasks as pick-up emergency groceries, medication, do friendly phone call check-ins, put out the bins and more.
