Embrace the true meaning of Christmas this week by buying a gift for a little boy or girl and putting it under the tree in the library.The Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor’s Community Christmas Tree Toy Appeal is being extended until this Wednesday, December 21 in the hope there will be plenty for the Salvos to collect.
Council’s Mayor Mike Brunker said the appeal provided an opportunity for the community to donate new toys to assist families facing tough times over the Christmas period and will compliment other appeals occurring throughout the region,” he said.
“All toys will be donated back to the Salvation Army close to Christmas and they will distribute the items to families throughout the whole region.”
All gifts are extremely welcome and the community is asked to place a tag on the gift to indicate the age and gender of the recipient of the gift to assist with the distribution. Gifts can be taken to the local library in your community.
“The Whitsunday community has proven itself in the past to be extremely caring and generous, and this is a great way to help others who are doing it tough at what is such a special time of year,” Mayor Brunker said.
