For the past 15 weeks a group of work mates have been collecting a variety of Christmas themed food items to create 25 gift bundles for local families ‘doing it tough’ this year.
The Development Services Team at Whitsunday Regional Council independently initiated the campaign which saw staff from across different sections of the business come together to contribute varied items.
Aiming to accumulate a wide selection of food items that could be used to create a range of dishes over the festive period, the colourful Christmas bags contained everything from cake mix to jelly crystals, potatoes to pasta sauce, candy canes and chips.
This is the second year in a row that the team have organised this activity, and the 25 bags of delicious goods will be heading straight for the Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre where they will be given to families or individuals in need.
“We have even more bags than last year which is great,” said coordinator Tamara Dansie.
“It’s so nice to give back as individuals and make a difference in someone’s life.”
Tamara Noble from Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre said that they were thrilled to receive such a kind donation.
“Over the next two weeks the food bags will be handed out to those who present to us requiring some assistance and support for Christmas,” she said.
“We are extremely appreciative of the donation received, the 25 bags were generously filled with such a great variety of non-perishable food items, which is perfect for Christmas.”
