The holiday season is a time of giving, and Hinchinbrook residents are being called upon to spread the festive cheer as part of the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.
Launched by Mayor Ramon Jayo, the appeal encourages the community to contribute gifts and non-perishable food items for local families in need during the Christmas season.
“Hinchinbrook residents have always shown incredible compassion, generously contributing gifts and non-perishable food for local families in need during the Christmas period,” said Mayor Jayo.
To participate, residents can add an extra toy or non-perishable item to their shopping and place it under the Christmas tree at the Hinchinbrook Shire Council’s main office.
For those with limited time, monetary donations are also welcome, and these contributions will be used by the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre to purchase essential items for families facing challenges this festive season.
The appeal is open until 5pm on Friday, 6 December, allowing ample time for donations to be collected and distributed to those in need.
“I am grateful for the ongoing support from the community and encourage everyone to join in supporting this important cause,” Mayor Jayo added.
“Please help us spread the Christmas spirit throughout Hinchinbrook.”
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. This annual appeal not only provides essential support but also uplifts the spirits of local families, ensuring they too can experience the joy of Christmas.
For more information or to contribute, visit the Hinchinbrook Shire Council’s main office.
