It's that wonderful time of year when we need your support to make Christmas extra special for everyone!

Longwarry Lions Food Relief does an incredible job of helping those in need during the holiday season, but they can't do it without your help.

Please consider donating the items below which will be distributed to those in need at Christmas.

Things such as:
🎄 Christmas food (things for a Christmas lunch)
🎄 Lollies, biscuits, chocolates
🎄 Christmas decorations
🎄 Christmas table decorations
🎄 Wrapping paper or Christmas cards
🎁 Toys and books for all children
🎁 Gift cards/vouchers or items suitable for teenagers (things such as body products, makeup, sporting goods)

Donations can be taken to the Longwarry Public Hall every Thursday 11-2pm, or Saturday 16th November/Saturday 7th December from 9am-5pm.

Last year I was truly amazed by the community's incredible support of our local toy drive, and in years past of our Reverse Advent Calendar Hampers.
Let's work together to make this year's Christmas even more special for everyone!

For more information please contact Krista Mountford (Giving Gippsland): [email protected] or 0400 617 368.
