Ahead of their Christmas pop-up shop for low-income families, the Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre is inviting kind-heated community members to contribute brand-new un-wrapped gifts as part of their annual toy drive.
Those interested are asked to simply register on Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre’s Facebook page before December 10, purchase the gifts and bring them into the centre.
Then, on December 15, the pop-up toy shop will be opened to low-income families so they can each select a present for their children to enjoy opening at Christmas.
Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre Chief Operations Officer, Rebecca Woods, says this is a great opportunity for people who had previously liked purchasing gifts for their Adopt a Family campaign.
“We started doing gift cards for Adopt a Family a few years ago,” she explained.
“So, this Toy Drive is a great for people who like buying gifts instead.
“We wanted to open it up to the community because we understand that the community recognise the cost-of-living crisis and want to contribute.”
The pop-up Christmas shop is open to eligible families only and they must satisfy specific criteria in order to qualify.
The eligibility is also related to geography and only residents in the Greater Airlie Beach Area qualify.
If you wish to register, please contact the centre.
For those wanting to contribute a gift, register on Facebook or if you would prefer to offer a gift card to a family in need then please register for the Adopt a Family campaign instead.
