With Christmas just around the corner, we’re running a Christmas Donation Drive to help spread some cheers this holiday season.
For most of us, Christmas is a happy time filled with food, family and fun! Unfortunately, there are many others within our community that find Christmas to be a tough time. The season brings extra financial stresses to families – leaving households without the basics meaning sometimes Christmas has to be missed households.
Our Christmas Donation Drive will be run from Monday, 30th October to Monday, 4th December. And we need your help to ensure local families facing disadvantage don’t miss out this Christmas.
We are aiming to put together 150 Christmas food support bags for our local families. While we have some staples, we would be sincerely grateful to receive donations of festive items and non-perishable foods to put into the bags.
Here’s a list some of the welcomed items to help fill our bag:
