2021 has been a challenging year for communities across Australia including the Sunshine Coast and more locally, the Noosa Hinterland.
Christmas is a time for joy, but for those doing it tough and with the impact Covid has had on individuals, families and communities, it can be hard and sometimes isolating.
This year Hinternoosa has partnered with The Salvation Army to host a food and toy drive.
If you wish to make a donation, please drop off your gift or food item to one of their friendly staff members at the Hinternoosa office at 30 Maple Street, Cooroy.
Gifts need to be unwrapped with price tags still attached. Unfortunately second hand items aren’t accepted any more due to Covid.
Please donate items by 5pm on Thursday 16 December at to ensure all donations arrive to those in need for Christmas.
Hinternoosa principal Kess Prior said, “By donating food or gifts to all age groups from babies to toddlers to teens to parents, you can help us make sure we leave no one in need this festive season.”
“All donations will be displayed in the Hinternoosa office windows which will also form our entry into the annual Christmas in Cooroy Christmas window trail display.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to adorn our office windows this Christmas than with generous donations that will benefit so many.”
