Christmas Appeal

Each year, the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal plays a vital role to support those in need across the Mareeba Shire during the festive season.

Mareeba Shire Mayor Angela Toppin is encouraging residents to get behind the annual cause and donate to the appeal to assist local families.

“This year has been an incredibly difficult year for many,” Cr Toppin said.

“I urge residents, if they can, to please donate to the Mayor’s Christmas appeal to help those who need a little extra help this year.

Cash donations can be made at Mareeba Shire Council Customer Service Centres at Mareeba and Kuranda or online via EFT.

All funds will be donated to local community groups before Christmas to assist with food hampers and support for local families.

Donations to the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal can be made at Council’s service centres in Mareeba and Kuranda. People can also send their donation by cheque to Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, PO Box 154, Mareeba 4880. Make the cheque payable to MSC Mayor’s Christmas Appeal. Donations will also be accepted via online direct debit.
