Cire Services in Yarra Junction is calling on local residents to donate gifts this Christmas to help those in a less fortunate position due to Covid-19.
Cire has gifting trees in the Yarra Junction and Chirnside Park community hubs for residents to palace a gift under the tree.
Community hub coordinator Belinda Grooby asked locals to help those in need this Christmas.
“Covid-19 has really shown just how amazing people in the local community are. It’s been a tough year for a lot of people, so if anyone has the opportunity where they are able to give a gift to help support someone who might be finding themselves in a difficult situation this year.”
Cire requires any gifts to be labelled for a boy, girl or gender neutral and feature the appropriate age range to ensure children can open a gift they will enjoy.
The Yarra Junction Community Hub received a Christmas tree thanks to the generosity of the Seville Christmas Tree Farm.
And there’s still plenty of time to donate.
“All of our gifts will be handed over to Holy Fools on the 23 December and they will ensure they go where they are needed most on Christmas Eve.”
