THE Christmas Giving Tree has been put up at Frankston Library.
Each year, generous Frankston residents leave gifts under the tree which will go to disadvantaged children. This year, donations of non-perishable Christmas food like mince pies and puddings are being asked for.
The food will be handed out at the annual Frankston Life Community Christmas Lunch. Event coordinator Ron Crosling has encouraged people to donate food. “For many in our community Christmas is a difficult time. The joy of giving, the joy of receiving and especially the joy of sharing is what being part of a community is all about,” he said.
“The Frankston Life Community Christmas lunches are meaningful to the many volunteers who give their time on the day. It is an opportunity to serve members of our community who are often overlooked by the general population.”
About 150 guests are expected at the 2021 Frankston Life Community Christmas Lunch. To volunteer, get tickets, or find out more visit frankston.life/community/christmas-lunch/
The Christmas Giving Tree is at Frankston Library, 60 Playne Street in Frankston. Non-perishable foods will be accepted until Wednesday, 22 December.
