Supporting local families in need this Christmas

Kyneton Baptist Church, Sunbury Cobaw Community Health and Macedon Ranges Shire Council are once again partnering to support local families in need at Christmas. 

The community organisations have served the needs of families across the Macedon Ranges at Christmas time for 13 years. 

Macedon Ranges Gift Shop coordinator, Georgina Harvey, said they were again running their Gift Card program. 

“By offering Gift Cards to local businesses right here in the Macedon Ranges we are supporting not only local families in need, but our local economy at the same time,” she said. 

“This model empowers local businesses to support local families, and we are seeking your financial donations to make this possible.” 

Families will receive Macedon Ranges Gift Shop Gift Cards, with a set amount for each child. Gift Cards can be redeemed at participating local business partners. 

“We hope to have as many businesses on board as possible, offering as many products and services as possible,” Georgina said. 

“The amount of gift cards and assistance we can provide per child, will depend solely on that amount of financial donations we are able to raise. For 2023 we have a target to raise $15,000! 

“If you are a local Macedon Ranges business interested in partnering in our Gift Card system for your store, we’d love to speak further and partner with you.” 

Donations can be made by direct deposit, cash, cheque and online.
