Why support the Mount Gambier Community Christmas Appeal:

The appeal relies solely on the support of local donors – the service is additional to the role played by local agencies and is not possible without contributions from local individuals, families, groups and businesses.
Demand for support is increasing and the service is becoming stretched - while contributions from the local community have been reasonably consistent, the demand for support at Christmas has increased by almost 20% over the past five years.
The appeal is a unique local initiative - 100% of the funds are sourced and distributed locally.
