One of our differences as a charity, is that we are a solution provider. By working collaboratively with other charities and agencies, our volunteers provide suggestions on how RRT can help address some of the issues being faced by those in need. As a result, RRT has designed a suite of core products to address these needs resulting in tangible support. The RRT Food Box is donated to registered welfare providers who distribute the goods directly to individuals in need ❤️🤗 #rrtcares
