Christmas Giving Tree Supports Local Families This Festive Season

Residents are encouraged to share the spirit of giving this Christmas by supporting the annual Christmas Giving Tree program at Frankston City Libraries.

Frankston City Council, in partnership with local charities Frankston Life Community and Community Support Frankston, is calling on the community to donate gifts and contribute to a memorable Christmas celebration for local families doing it tough.

This year, donations will directly support the Frankston Life Community Christmas Day Luncheon at Frankston Arts Centre, helping provide a festive and welcoming experience for attendees. Rather than collecting non-perishable food items, organisers are focusing on contributions that will help cover the increasing costs of Christmas Day essentials, including decorations, bon bons, lollies for children, biscuits, pretzels, shortbreads, boxed chocolates and other festive touches.

The Christmas Giving Tree will also accept donations of brand-new, unwrapped toys suitable for children and young people of all ages. Books, colouring supplies and other gifts are welcome. For hygiene and safety reasons, used items cannot be accepted.

In addition, Community Support Frankston provides a range of emergency relief services throughout the year and welcomes tax-deductible monetary donations. Every dollar donated goes directly towards supporting people in need across the local community. To learn more or make a donation, visit the Community Support Frankston website at www.frankston.net/donate-now

Residents can drop off their donations at the Frankston and Seaford Library branches and help make Christmas a little brighter for local families this festive season from Tuesday 24 November.
