Struggling South Burnett families will be a little bit better off this Christmas, thanks to a charity lunch hosted by South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell in Kingaroy on Friday.<\/p>\n

The lunch, which attracted 208 people, raised more than $5000 for charity.<\/p>\n

Mayor Campbell explained that the cash would be converted to $50 SupaIGA shopping vouchers and given to local charities such as the Salvation Army and Centacare to distribute.<\/p>\n

This was the third annual Mayor’s Charity Christmas Lunch to be held in Kingaroy, but the first to be hosted by Mayor Campbell.<\/p>\n

The diners enjoyed a Christmas dinner and dessert prepared by CWA volunteers from branches across the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker was Member for Maranoa David Littleproud who was elected to the Federal seat earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Mayor Campbell also announced the winners of the\u00a0Hancock Prospecting 2016 Christmas Lights competition (see below)<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
