Foodbank Peel have welcomed a generous donation thanks to the proceeds of the Rotary Club of Mandurah's Wishing Well.
The organisation was successful in their application to purchase two sets of scales from the Christmas lights fundraiser.
The scales are light and battery-operated, and were delivered to Foodbank Peel as the global pandemic hit and demand for emergency food relief grew significantly.
Foodbank Peel branch manager Megan Reynolds said the team used the scales "every single day".
"I know they don't look like much to anyone but they've been amazing to us, they have just saved us," she said.
"Every single item that goes out gets weighed on one of these scales.
"They've also allowed us to change the whole layout of our branch and they've just saved us so much time and effort.
"It's the little things - these hidden costs of equipment that the general public might not realise but we have to work so hard to maintain."
Ms Reynolds said the scales would come in particularly handy in the case of a power outage.
"Usually it would be game over but we can still function and help the community now," she said.
"I don't think the timing could've been better because just yesterday the power went out.
"Normally we would have to close the doors but we were able to weigh our whole delivery truck on our new scales."
Rotary Club of Mandurah president Rachel Forward said they were happy to help where they could.
"Rotary is all local people so, for us, it's all about giving back to the community that we are a part of," she said.
"We do grant applications from the Rotary Wishing Well every year for local community groups and then divvy up the funds between the successful applicants.
"It's all about keeping that money in Mandurah to help Mandurah."
Ms Reynolds said Foodbank were always thankful for community support.
"Rotary understand the important role we play in the Peel region," she said.
"Without support of community groups like them, we can't make those purchase of items we can't afford otherwise so they've helped us out a lot."
