The Ballarat Christmas Appeal will aim to raise over $100,000 this year to support local families in need.
The 2024 appeal launched today at Lake Wendouree, with funds going to local charities, including the Salvo’s, Uniting Ballarat, Vinnies and Anglicare.
CEO of the Ballarat Foundation, ANDREW EALES, says they’ve seen incredible cost of living pressures this year.
“The Christmas Appeal this year is absolutely going to be crucial to support families and individuals with basic items.”
“Items such as food and toys so that they can have a Christmas that they deserve,” Mr. Eales said.
Monetary donations can be made online The Ballarat Foundation – Campaign – Ballarat Christmas Appeal, with locals able to donate toys, gifts and non-perishable food to Anglicare in Victoria Street, Bakery Hill between 10am and 2pm weekdays.
