Christmas Hampers

Christmas can be particularly difficult for those in our community experiencing financial hardship, social isolation or distress. But our Christmas Hampers, which have been generously donated, bring relief and joy.

Give from the heart

Donations mean we can purchase gift cards from supermarkets, allowing recipients to choose what they’d like to purchase during this season and making the experience more personal.  

It may be something they've always had at their Christmas table but can't afford this year, or perhaps it's something special for their kids, a favourite food that lets them know it's Christmastime. 

This Christmas, make sure everyone can have something special at their table. 

Food items

Make Christmas special

When you think of Christmas, food and sharing time around the table quickly comes to mind. But when money is tight, and you're under pressure, it can make what's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year very difficult. 

By donating non-perishable food items to our Christmas Hampers, you can bring a little Christmas cheer to those in our community doing it tough. Please make sure all items are within the use-by/best-before date and don't contain any alcohol. Suggestions include: 

  • Festive shortbread, biscuits and other festive food items

  • Mixed nuts, chips, savoury biscuits

  • Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, fruit mince pies

  • Long-life custard

  • Assorted sweets or chocolates

  • Milo, hot chocolate, coffee, tea

  • Tinned ham

Give the gift of kindness

Please leave all donations at the Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney Head Office in Gordon no later than Friday 11 December.

Collections can also be made by prior arrangement – please contact us if you have any queries about your donation or our Christmas Hampers.  

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make sure those in our community finding things difficult can still enjoy the Christmas spirit.
