Spread Some Christmas Cheer This Year

By Donating To Those In Need

This festive season, the Neighbourhood Hub Mackay is inviting the community to help make Christmas a little brighter for families and individuals doing it tough. Donations are being collected for Christmas hampers filled with festive treats and essential food items, giving local community members a joyful holiday season.

The Hub is seeking a range of non-perishable foods and Christmas goodies, including butcher vouchers, grocery-only vouchers, Christmas puddings, long-life custard, breakfast foods, chocolates, long-life milk, gravy and sauces, jelly, tinned fruits and vegetables, pancake mix, juice, sweet biscuits, spreads, dried fruits and nuts, baking goods, crackers and chips, bon bons, candy canes, and tea and coffee.

Donations can be dropped off at 4 George Street, Mackay, from Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 3pm. Every item helps create a hamper that will bring comfort, warmth, and a little joy to those in need.

For more information, or if you would like to support in other ways, contact the Neighbourhood Hub Mackay on 07 4957 2626 or email christmas@tnhub.org.au.

This Christmas, you can make a real difference in your local community. Every donation counts, and together, Mackay can help ensure everyone has a festive season filled with hope, joy, and a little extra cheer.
