A Douglas Shire fundraiser was launched today with a purpose to ensure community members in need receive the gift of giving this Christmas.

All monies raised from the Mayor’s Christmas appeal will go directly towards food hampers and the purchase of key items for people and families who are doing it tough this festive season in our local Shire.

“Christmas is a really special time of the year but it can also be a difficult period for some people in our community,” Douglas Shire mayor Michael Kerr remarked.

“The annual Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is a chance for locals to give a little to make sure noone in our community is left behind during the festive season.

“Last year, the appeal supported more than 70 local families and individuals through Christmas hampers.

“We rely on donations to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy the festive season and the many joyful moments Christmas can bring.”

Council is working with Mossman Support Services, Mossman Elders Justice Group, Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre, Goobidi Home Care Services, Goobidi Bamanga Community Advancement Cooperative Society, Interdenominational Ministers Association and the Christian Mission Fellowship International to assist and launch the appeal.
