Community Christmas lunch with a twist

Organising committee looking to put together personal care packs for 2022 festive event

The Mount Gambier Community Christmas Lunch has been supporting people in need on the Limestone Coast for more than 10 years and will again this year.

In that time organisers, volunteers and sponsors have provided lunch and a festive atmosphere for approximately 130 guests and are again expecting a capacity crowd. For many guests, this event is the only way they can celebrate Christmas Day by way of a threecourse meal and gifts. This year the meal will be cooked by chef Richard.

In past years, local businesses, residents and community organisations have provided invaluable support, and will do so again this year but the organising committee is also looking for some help to provide much-appreciated personal packs. Organisers would like the packs to contains shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, a toothbrush and soap.

If anyone is able to donate any of the items, or all of them in a small pack, your generosity would be very much appreciated. The items or packs can be dropped off to the Bendigo Bank branch on James Street, or the Mount Gambier Golf Club on Attamurra Road.

Alternatively, if you would like to donate any funds to purchase the items on your behalf, please contact Vicki Clark 0488 100 062.
