PREVIOUS INITIATIVES – 15 TUBS FULL APPEAL

 

The 15 Tubs Full Appeal was established in 2005 by Dr Mrin Nayagam of The Village Clinic, Mt Eliza. Originally known as the Boxometer Appeal, the initiative aimed to collect as many boxes of non-perishable festive food as possible for distribution to disadvantaged residents across the Frankston community during the Christmas period.

 

Several years later, the appeal was renamed the 15 Tubs Full Appeal, reflecting its goal of filling large 50-litre tubs with much-needed food donations. Over time, the appeal became a much-loved community tradition, providing thousands of kilograms of food to local families experiencing hardship.

​

The appeal continued successfully until Dr Nayagam's retirement from The Village Clinic in 2017. In its final year, a record 105 tubs were collected—equivalent to more than five tonnes of food and festive treats for local people in need.

 

Community Support Frankston gratefully acknowledges the extraordinary generosity of everyone who contributed to the appeal over the years. Following her full retirement in 2025, Dr Nayagam has continued to support CSF as both a donor and volunteer, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to the Frankston community.
