We all work together, with one point for hamper distribution which:

Enables us to stretch our combined limited resources
Assists more families through fairer allocation of donations
Allows other organisations to focus on other festive activities like free Christmas breakfast and lunch to residents in hardship.

2017 was the 27th year of the appeal and 580 hampers with food and gifts distributed to local families and people living alone. These hampers were put together using more than $20,000 in cash donations and over $30,000 in donated groceries, gifts and toys

Our thanks go to local residents, businesses and organisations that donated cash, groceries and toys. Your support has made this year's appeal a great success. See more information about the Village Clinic, Mt Eliza 15 Tubs Full Appeal which is a major donor to the Frankston Community Appeal.
