How you can ‘Adopt-a-Family’ this festive season

Our 2020 appeal has kicked off with Anglicare, CASA, Uniting Care, Churches of Christ and Mackay Women’s Centre

The Daily Mercury’s Adopt a Family for Christmas Campaign is back for 2020 and we are asking the community for support.

STRUGGLING families could find some Christmas cheer this festive season with the 2020 Adopt-A-Family appeal now under way.

More than 100 Mackay region families are up for "adoption" with the help of Anglicare, Community Accommodation and Support Agency, Uniting Care, Churches of Christ and the Mackay Women's Centre.

The Daily Mercury invites our readers and other members of the public to get involved and help bring some joy to their sponsored family's Christmas.

To adopt a family, simply get in touch with the organisations below.

Families that have already been adopted have a green tick next to them. 

Thanks for your support.
