Here at the Woodend Neighbourhood House, weโve been lucky enough to coordinate a huge couple of weeks of giving, and we are very grateful to everyone who has helped us support local people in need of a little extra cheer this Christmas.
Local businesses including Snap Fitness 24/7 Woodend, Oak & Stone, Victoria Hotel, Woodend, Woodend Pharmacy and Slow Studios have generously collected hamper items, run raffles, gathered gifts for our Gift Registry and made financial donations.
The residents of GemLife have donated toys, teddies and games for our Gift Registry. GemLife residents also hosted an amazing Craft Market, with all proceeds donated to support the Woodend Neighbourhood House.
Woodend Primary School, St Ambrose Primary School Woodend and Mount Macedon Primary School all ran Food Drives and we also received an amazing donation of food from Kyneton High School.
Local community groups have also supported our efforts - with fantastic cash donations from the Uniting Church Op Shop Woodend and the Woodend Men's Shed, money for sensory gifts from Woodend Rotary and children's gifts from St Mary's Woodend parishioners.
And our Community Lunch was well supported this year, with generous donations from Ritchies Woodend, Woodend Lions Club, Coles Woodend, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Woodend RSL and Community Bank Trentham & Districts. We were also delighted to welcome back Resonance String Orchestra.
Individual community members also stepped up and donated more than 90 Christmas Hampers and gifts, meaning we could distribute more than 100 hampers to local households.
And finally, a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers, who came together in great numbers to run our community lunch, distribute hampers, wrap presents and support the gift-giving drive. We truly couldnโt have done it without you.
In sharing this post, we realise we may have inadvertently missed someone and not acknowledged their contribution. Itโs been a very busy couple of weeks with a lot happening and we sincerely apologise to anyone we may have missed!
Wishing you all a safe, joyful and restful festive season.
