UnitingCare is hoping Christmas shoppers in Kingaroy will help them spread a little bit of festive cheer this year to local families who are doing it tough.<\/p>\n

Target Country in Kingaroy has joined with UnitingCare to support the annual Giving Box appeal (formerly known as Operation Santa).<\/p>\n

“There are many families in our community who are going to find it really tough to provide gifts for their children this year,” local UnitingCare co-ordinator Susan Mortimer said.<\/p>\n

“We rely on fellow locals to dig deep, so please support our appeal at Target Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

“We make sure that all donated gifts go to local families.”<\/p>\n

This is the 23rd year the appeal has been run across Australia by Target – and the fifth year it has run in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

There is a large Giving Box located in the Target Country store in Avoca Street, Kingaroy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shoppers can place unwrapped gifts inside or take a tag and make a donation at the cash register.<\/p>\n

UnitingCare volunteers will collect the gifts and make sure they are distributed to those most in need in time for Christmas morning.<\/p>\n

Over the past two decades, more than 1.8 million gifts have been donated at Target stores across Australia.<\/p>\n

This year, UnitingCare and Target are hoping to collect and distribute 100,000 gifts and $200,000 worth of gift cards across Australia which will assist 60,000 families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
