Community Christmas Trees - Gifts for kids Update
Don't forget to place a gift under the community Christmas Trees in the area. You'll find them around Kaiapoi in New World, Westpac and the Library.
Please place only NEW gifts under the trees. We only hand out new toys to the children.
If you do have secondhand children's toys you wish to donate to charity please take them to the local op shops.
It takes a lot of time for our volunteers to sort through all the packages we receive and it's sad when we have to
dispose of these toys from you.
Don't forget the older kids. We get so many gifts for the little ones and they often have older brothers and sisters. So help us provide for them all. Thank you.
Merry Christmas x
