Lend A Hand This Christmas
A number of community groups in Wynnum Manly are asking for donations to help with those needing a hand this Christmas.
My office is helping as a collection venue for donations to assist.
If you would like to donate, non-perishable food items, a toy for a child or a present for a teenager or adult, your support would be appreciated.
Please drop them in before Friday 9 December
so they can be handed out before Christmas. Thank you in advance.
