Every year the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is an opportunity for Campbelltown to show what a generous, giving community is all about.
The appeal is also another way of getting into the festive spirit as the countdown to Christmas gets under way.
As in previous years, residents are encouraged to donate their new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items.
All donations will be distributed to members of the community in need of a helping hand to also have an enjoyable Christmas.
Items can be placed in the Christmas donation box located in the main foyer of the Campbelltown Civic Centre and in collection boxes at Campbelltown’s four library branches until 4pm on Thursday, December 19.
Donations can also be made at the annual Light the Tree celebration at the Campbelltown Civic Forecourt on Friday, November 29.
All gifts and donations will be collected by the Macarthur Combined Churches and distributed as part of their annual Christmas luncheon.
“Campbelltown is home to a wonderful and generous community, and the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal provides an opportunity for our residents to help people in need,’’ says the Mayor of Campbelltown, Councillor Darcy Lound, pictured above.
“I encourage residents to get involved so everyone gets the chance to enjoy Christmas this year,” Cr Lound said.
The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is one of the many key events on Campbelltown City Council’s annual Christmas in Campbelltown events program.
The program is available on Council’s website, https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/Home
