The staff and volunteers of the Launceston Benevolent Society had the pleasure of helping many struggling families and their children over Christmas with Christmas hampers, toys, bikes and school holiday activity packs.
The festive season is a happy time for most of us, but for some it is a lonely time and a stressful time so if we can add a little brightness to a family in need at this time of year, it is a good thing to do.
However, we couldn’t do any of this without the support we get from the community and we would like to thank the following organisations for their wonderful festive season support.
- ABC Giving Tree
- Examiner Empty Stocking Appeal
- Rotary Club of Tamar Sunrise
- Variety Tas (The Children’s Charity)
- Launceston Saints Supporters Group
- Anonymous corporate donor
- Friends of the Society
Also a big thanks to all the individual donors who provided parcels of food and other gifts for Christmas.
Ours is certainly a community that looks out for others in their time of need.
