Donate Now
As we approach the festive season, it is a time for joy, sharing and giving back to the wonderful Whitsunday community!
Mayor Ry Collins' Festive Food Appeal is designed to help feed families who may not have the means to enjoy a festive feast this Christmas.
So how can you help?
Donate Food: You can drop off non-perishable items from the Christmas food box shopping list at one of our Customer Service Centres or Libraries.
Donate Money: If you don’t have time to get to the shops – don’t worry! You can purchase a Festive Food Box via our website.
Spread the Word: If you don’t have the means to donate you can still support the Festive Food Appeal by sharing our message with your friends, family and neighbours.
Let’s work together and make sure no one in our community goes without a festive meal this Christmas!
We require all donations by Monday 9 December to allow our Christmas Elves time to pack the Festive Food Boxes!
