Residents encouraged to donate to 2024 Mayor's Christmas Appeal

Published on 12 November 2024

The Campbelltown community is being encouraged to get into the festive spirit by donating to this year’s Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.

Residents are encouraged to donate their new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items, which will be distributed to members of the community in need.

Items can be placed in the Christmas donation box located in the main foyer of the Campbelltown Civic Centre and in collection boxes at Campbelltown’s four library branches until 4pm on Thursday 19 December.

Donations can also be made at the annual Light the Tree celebration at the Campbelltown Civic Forecourt on Friday 29 November.

All gifts and donations will be collected by the Macarthur Combined Churches and distributed as part of their annual Christmas luncheon.

“Campbelltown is home to a wonderful and generous community, and the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal provides an opportunity for our residents to help people in need,” Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound said.

“I encourage residents to get involved so everyone gets the chance to enjoy Christmas this year,” Cr Lound said.

The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is one of the many key events on Campbelltown City Council’s annual Christmas in Campbelltown events program.

The program is available on Council’s website.
