So please make your way down to San Marco Centre and support us on the day.
If you would like to make a cash donation instead of donating an item, please feel free to do so. Together, we can all play our part in giving someone who truly is expecting nothing this Christmas, one they will always remember.
As items pour in, we will reduce the grocery list, so keep an eye on what is still needed.
You do not need to wait, however, you can start dropping off anything on the list now at our offices.
