As we continue to immerse ourselves in festive spirit, there’s no better way to spread joy than by coming together to support and give to those in need across the Whitsundays. It should come as no surprise that the Whitsundays are one of the most kind-hearted and generous communities along the Queensland coastline, and in keeping with this wonderful title, various Christmas Appeal initiatives have begun sprouting up across the shire as we edge closer and closer to December.
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor, Ry Collins’ Festive Food Appeal stands as an accessible, and affordable, way for the local community to support those who often go without by providing families with a festive meal this Christmas. A simple way to spread joy, the appeal exists with the sole intent of ensuring everyone within the community can celebrate the festive season together. Donations of non-perishable food items off the Christmas food box shopping list can be made at one of the Whitsunday Regional Council’s Customer Service Centres or Libraries.
What’s included in this Christmas box shopping list you ask?
• Christmas Pudding
• Bon Bons
• Tinned fruit, jelly and custard powder
• Juice (2L)
• Rice and simmer sauce
• Pancake mix
• Tinned veggies, baked beans and tinned spaghetti
• Deb potatoes
• Spaghettti pasta and pasta sauce
• Instant noodles
• Weetbix
• Cordial
• Longlife milk
• Vegemite
Although making a small donation off the Christmas box shopping list can make a world of a difference in someone’s life, the Whitsunday Shire Council asks for the community to simply spread the word of the appeal with friends, family and neighbours to make sure no one goes without this Christmas.
In order to make sure the Council’s Christmas Elves have enough time to pack the Festive Food Boxes, all donations are to be made by Monday 9 December. More information of this heartwarming initiative can be found on the Whitsunday Shire Council website.
