Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington is collecting gifts for the State Government’s “Kids in Care Christmas Appeal”.
“Christmas can be a difficult time for kids who can’t live at home but by donating a small present we can let these children and young people know that we care,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Last year we had an overwhelming response to the appeal, with every child in care receiving a gift.
“Now we are asking the community to again support the Appeal and the children and young people who need help and support.”
Presents can include gift cards, sporting equipment, board games, clothes and books. Gifts for teenage boys and girls, as well as the little ones, would be greatly appreciated.
“Gifts do not need to be costly — inexpensive presents can bring just as much joy as something expensive,” Mrs Frecklington said.
The appeal runs from November 19 to December 5 to allow time for gifts to be sorted and allocated. Any surplus toys will be distributed to other disadvantaged children.
Presents can be dropped off at the Nanango Electorate Office at Shop 2, 36 Alford Street, Kingaroy.
