Spread Festive Cheer with the Mayoral Giving Tree
The wonderful Mayoral Giving Tree is back! We're inviting the community to share the spirit of giving this Christmas by donating to the Mayoral Giving Tree. Donations must be new and unwrapped gifts suitable for children, teens, or adults and will be accepted from Monday 2 December to Friday 20 December 2024 at the Civic Centre in Moss Vale.
Details:
You can swing by anytime 8:30am-4:30pm Monday to Friday and pop new and unwrapped presents under the tree. The tree will be in The Atrium at the Civic Centre in Moss Vale between 1st - 20th December accepting donations.
After that, the Salvation Army will collect and distribute the gifts. They'll be working with other local charities to ensure the gifts go where they're needed the most.
We're excited to help lovely locals in need AND we're excited to be able to call it a Mayoral Giving Tree now we've got a Mayor again!
