Noosa Christmas community lunch ensures no one spends Christmas alone

Sandy Bolton MP is co-hosting a Christmas Day lunch again this year with the Noosa Coolum Salvos, Making Lives Matter, and a wonderful band of merry elves.

The team includes Tony Crossin who once more will be creating the festive fare, and of course entertainment and Santa.

Sandy’s family including partner Shoey and ‘furkids’ Coco and Bear will be celebrating with fellow Noosans who are flying ‘solo’, and is looking forward to the usual traditions, including the ‘bon bon’ battle which continues to elude her.

“We have an incredible, loving and selfless community, with an enormous heart. I am always in awe of how everyone pulls together to make Christmas special,” Sandy said.

“To assist in hosting this lunch is a joy, with new friendships made amongst genuine care for each other. No one should ever spend Christmas day alone, so please join us for a complimentary lunch and some merry cheer on Christmas Day.”

Matthew Gluyas is the Mission Leader at Noosa Coolum Salvos and is working with Sandy and Making Lives Matter on delivering this lunch for the community.

“We don’t want anyone to be alone this Christmas. We are made for community and Christmas is a time, more than any other, where it’s important that we place our self around others,” Matthew said.

The lunch will be held at 6 Bartlett Street, Noosaville from 11.30am on 25 December. As spaces are limited, please book as soon as possible. RSVP with your name/s, phone number and ages/gender of any children before 18 December to 07 5335 8500 or via noosa.corps@salvationarmy.org.au or at www.bit.ly/NoosaXmasLunch2024.

If you wish to enquire about volunteering, please contact Sandy’s office on 5319 3100 before 11 December.

To ensure Sandy’s staff get a well earnt break, their office will be closed from 20 December 2024 and will be reopening on 6 January 2024.
