RICHMOND MP Justine Elliot has thanked local residents for their overwhelming
generosity and kindness in supporting her Christmas Toy Drive.
Mrs Elliot said this year local residents donated more than 400 toys.
“These toys will make a big difference in bringing the magic of Christmas to children
and families across our community,” she said.
“One of the most wonderful things about our area is the strength of our community
spirit and this year donations of toys have come in from all across the North Coast.
There are a lot of families doing it tough over Christmas and this small gesture
really does make an enormous difference for many in our community.
“Christmas is a time of giving and celebration and my Christmas Toy Drive is a
chance to help local families in need.”
The toys will be wrapped by volunteers and distributed to local children in need by
the Salvation Army.
