Give Back This Christmas With Council’s Community Giving Tree

Wednesday, 13 Nov 2024

This Christmas, Griffith City Council is encouraging residents to spread some holiday cheer by contributing to the Community Giving Tree located at Griffith City Library.

The Giving Tree aims to help those who may be struggling during the festive season by providing much-needed items for families in need.

Donations can include a variety of items such as:

Toys
Toiletries
Games
Clothes
Gift Vouchers
School Supplies
Non-perishable Food

Griffith City Council Mayor Doug Curran stresses the importance of supporting those less fortunate during the holiday season.

"Christmas can be a tough time for some people, and we want to ensure that everyone in our community has the chance to enjoy the holiday season. By contributing to the Community Giving Tree, we can make a small, but real difference in the lives of those in need," he said.

All donated items will be collected and distributed by Hampers of Hope, who will ensure they reach those who need them most this Christmas.

For more information on how you can contribute or to find out more about the initiative, please contact Council’s Community Development Officer, Viviana Degenkamp, on 1300 176 077.
