‘Xmas in the Park’ will be held this Saturday from 8am-12pm at Mossman’s George Davis Park.

The event aims to provide a morning of true Christmas spirit, encouraging cross-cultural socialisation, awareness and acceptance for vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the Douglas region.

In support of the event, Mackay Sugar has provided $1000 to the Mossman Community Centre, under the Mackay Sugar Community Support Program.

The event will include free food, beverages and activities, including children’s rides and amusements and a visit from Santa.

The Mossman Community Centre is operated by the Douglas Shire Community Services Association, a not-for-profit organisation providing services to the disabled, disadvantaged and youth within the Douglas region. Services include respite support, in-home sustainability, youth support and educational programs, free weekly meals, counselling, homelessness assistance, emergency relief, family support and advocacy.
