It’s that time of the year when Santa can use all hands on deck.
Communicare organises Christmas gifts for 3,000 families annually across the metropolitan area, and we need your help!
If you are a business, club or individual who can afford to donate a Christmas gift, for a child up to the age of 14, or can make a cash donation, we welcome you to stop by our Head Office site in Cannington.
Martine Pitt, Communicare's CEO, said that if you are stuck for an idea, barbies, books and board games are presents that can be enjoyed by children of all ages and would make a child's Christmas morning that much brighter.
