The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is on again

Published on 07 November 2024

Christmas is a special time of year that I’m sure we all look forward to– it is a time for joy, celebration, and coming together with family and loved ones. However, for many families and individuals in our community, this time of year can also bring significant challenges and hardships.

I’m pleased to let you know that the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is on again, making Christmas a bit brighter for those facing difficult times.

Donations can include non-perishable food items or new and unwrapped toys; and can be dropped off at our Bonnyrigg, Fairfield, Wetherill Park, and Whitlam Cabramatta library branches, or at Woolworths stores in Bonnyrigg, Cabramatta, Cecil Hills, Fairfield, Fairfield Heights, Green Valley, Greystanes, Pemulwuy, Toongabbie, Wentworthville and Wetherill Park until Wednesday 11 December 2024.

Christmas is a time of giving. By donating to the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal you are contributing to making Christmas a positive experience for everyone. I am continually inspired by the incredible generosity and kindness that our community shows each year and am asking you to please consider showing your support once again if you can.

Council will work with not-for-profit organisations and charities to package and distribute the donations in time for Christmas.

I encourage you to give what you can, however big or small. A kind gesture can go a long way in making this a memorable and meaningful Christmas for everyone.
