Brimbank Mayor, Cr Thuy Dang, said we know there are many people in our community who are struggling with the cost of living and finding it increasingly difficult to afford essential food and household items.
“Our Giving Tree Program is a practical way to make a difference and support people in need this festive season, so the next time you’re shopping, please consider buying a few extra items,” Cr Dang said.
“We want to thank everyone who is able to donate and to our charity partners who are collecting and distributing these items across Brimbank.”
