Wyn Active is normally associated with sport, recreation and helping people get fit and have fun.
But with Christmas coming, the body charged with running sporting and leisure facilities for Wyndham council is reaching out to help those less fortunate in the municipality.
Wyn Active is a running a Christmas giving tree donation drive to provide gifts, food and basic necessities to people doing it tough.
Running from December 1 through to December 22, Wyn Active is accepting donations at giving trees located at AquaPulse aquatics centre in Hoppers Crossing and Eagle Stadium in Werribee.
Wyn Active’s Sue Clark encouraged locals to spread joy and kindness this Christmas by donating at either of the two sites.
“We kindly welcome contributions of toiletries, sleeping bags/blankets, non-perishable (easy-to-open) food items, toys (select a gift tag from the tree and return the gift tag for accurate distribution) and grocery and food gift cards (Woolworths, Coles, BP, and Ampol),” said Ms Clark who encouraged those making contributions to add some kind words too.
“To add a personal touch, we suggest including an anonymous message of encouragement for the gift recipient,” she said.
All donations will be directed to Bolton Clarke and Cohealth, partners of the Health, Housing, and Homelessness (H3) Alliance.
