CHRISTMAS HAMPER 2021 APPEAL
To assist Rotary Central Melbourne to mark the Festive Season, we ask members and friends to make up Christmas Hampers for the less fortunate people in our community. We will be providing hampers for two groups of disadvantaged people:
- the homeless and youth through Steps Outreach Service and
- refugee families through Lentara Uniting Asylum Seeker Project
We will supply red hamper bags for Steps Outreach Service recipients and red bags with green ribbons for the Lentara recipients. The following lists are suggestions of non-perishable food and other items for your hamper bag donations.
