IT’S THE SEASON FOR GIVING CASSOWARY COAST CHRISTMAS APPEAL
PAGE 13-16 Mayor Mark Nolan encourages the community to donate at Council Customer Service Centres
For over 30 years Cassowary Coast Regional Council, with the generous assistance of locals across the region, have dug deep and shown overwhelming support for families and individuals in need by donating to the annual Christmas Appeal. The 2022 Cassowary Coast Christmas Appeal is now open and Mayor Mark Nolan encourages the community to spread the Christmas spirit in a way our locals know best, by giving back to our community. “Council is helping to facilitate the fundraising of Christmas donations on behalf of community groups who offer support and wonderful services for our community year-round. “The compassion and Christmas spirit of businesses and individuals across the Cassowary Coast ensures everyone in our community is taken care of this Christmas. This is not just for the families in need but as importantly, it is also a time to show-
case and appreciate the hardworking charities who contribute to our community. “We invite you to donate money, gifts or toys for both adults and children – or even gift vouchers – to help our vulnerable people and spread cheer. “Toy and gift donations can be dropped to Council Customer Service Centres – Innisfail Shire Hall, Tully Civic Centre and Cardwell Library. “For just $2, people can buy a golden star from Council Customer Service Centres at Innisfail Shire Hall, Tully Civic Centre and Cardwell Library. “These stars are then hung on our Council Christmas Tree to celebrate the contribution made. Donations over $200 will be recognised with a gift box placed under the tree and will also be publicly acknowledged by Council through local media. “100% of funds raised go towards assisting individuals, families and children in our region. The
local charities we partner with, will distribute the funds to residents identified as needing a helping hand this Christmas. “The festive season is a time to bring everybody together and highlights our collective strength and resilience as a community. The Christmas Appeal is an initiative which supports this strength.” said Councillor Nolan. Donations can be made by EFTPOS to Cassowary Coast Regional Council BSB 064818 Account number 00090047 with reference XMASAPP- (donors name). Donations can also be over the phone via EFTPOS to Council’s Customer Service Centres at 1300 763 903.
