Chabad of RARA provides support for people living further away. We are well known for our outreach efforts, and the famous yellow Mitzva Tank and Mobile Library.
Chabad of RARA raises funds from the wider community. This enables us to cover our operating costs and staff wages, which allows us to spend quality time on the road visiting people and providing support where it is most needed.
We have recently launched RARA Foundation, a Public Benevolent Institution that provides for the most vulnerable, and ensure that they are able to partake in community activities and initiatives, regardless of their circumstances. Donations made to RARA Foundation are fully tax deductible in Australia.
We also run a mobile public library, which is housed in our Mitzva Mobile. This is a sub-entity of Chabad of RARA. The RARA Mitzva Mobile Library travels all over Australia, and is open to the public to come on board, read and borrow books. You can also browse and borrow books online on our library section of our website. Donations made to the mobile library are fully tax deductible in Australia.
We are appreciative of the kind people that choose to donate to Chabad of RARA. We really could not do our important work without you. By supporting Chabad of RARA, you are truly bringing connection to those living further away.
We ask that you take a moment to consider which activities of ours you would like to support with your donation. Our RARA Foundation activities are tax deductible, and our mobile public library activities are tax deductible. Other activities are not tax deductible.
