Once again due to support from Lotterywest and local businesses and community groups, the Margaret River Community Centre (MRCC) will provide hampers to those in the community who need some Christmas cheer this festive season.

The hampers have been collected and distributed for more than 20 years.
“In 2016 we assisted 269 adults and 108 children through the hamper programme,” MRCC administration officer Lyn Moorfoot said.
“We are asking the community to please bring donations of non-perishables and new toys to our collection box in Riverfresh IGA or to the office in the lead-up to hamper day.
“I would especially like to encourage families to discuss with children the idea of sharing with other children in their community who, for whatever reason, might not have much to look forward to this Christmas.”
This year Hamper Day will be on Wednesday 20 December.
If you, or someone you know, would like to put your name on the list for a hamper, please call the office on 9757 3200 or visit the office between 9am and 1pm Monday to Friday.
On Monday 18 December, volunteers will be sorting all the hamper food into approximately 110+ hamper boxes.
If you would like to volunteer, please phone Lyn in the office on 9757 3200.
