Together, we're creating 100 thoughtfully packed hampers that will brighten Christmas Day for guests attending the Echuca-Moama Uniting Church Christmas Day lunch.
The response has been heartwarming — Echuca Moama Community Projects and The Riv extend heartfelt thanks to all the generous community members who've already contributed green bags and Christmas bonbons.
There is still time for you to help, with The Riv office accepting donations during office hours.
Getting involved is simple — here's your step-by-step guide:
Step one: Each week, purchase this week’s items from an Echuca-Moama business
This week, starting Monday, December 1, you can help create Christmas magic by purchasing a jar of jam, a Christmas pudding and a tin of fruit from local Echuca-Moama businesses.
Don't worry if you're just hearing about this — you can still contribute last week's items including a green, decorative or cooler style bag.
Step two: During weekday office hours, drop the item into the box at The Riv office at 28 Percy St, Echuca.
Step three: Your item will be added to a hamper.
This is our chance to come together as a community and create lasting Christmas memories for neighbours who need our support most.
Mark your calendars — all donations need to reach The Riv office by Thursday, December 18, to ensure every hamper is ready for Christmas Day.
