Linda Barry, St Vincent de Paul, & Mark OConnor, Rotary.
Many of you would have seen the Christmas tree with several gifts underneath it, in the Bendigo Bank over the last month. St Vincent de Paul and Rotary would like to thank the community for donating these Christmas gifts. The gifts will be distributed to families by St Vincent de Paul before Christmas. In excess of fifty gifts were donated. Most were for children, others included food, and some fragile items. There was no alcohol of course. The Giving Tree has been running for about 15 years now, and a similar number of gifts have been donated each year. It reflects the generosity of our Community.
