Together, we're creating 100 special hampers for guests joining the Echuca Moama Uniting Church Christmas Day lunch.
Over the past week, Echuca Moama Community Projects and The Riv have been overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who contributed jam, Christmas puddings and tinned fruit.
There's still plenty of time for you to get involved, with The Riv office welcoming donations throughout regular office hours.
Here is how it works:
STEP 1: Each week, purchase this week’s items from an Echuca Moama business
Starting Monday, December 9, 2025, this week we're collecting delicious chocolates and shortbreads to add sweetness to the hampers.
You can still contribute last week's items: jam, Christmas pudding and tinned fruit, or week one's green bags and decorative items.
STEP 2: During weekday office hours, drop the item into the box at the Riverine Herald office at 28 Percy St, Echuca.
STEP 3: Your item will be added to a hamper.
Let's come together as a community and share the magic of Christmas with those who need it most this festive season.
You have until Thursday December 18, 2025 to drop off your donations.
