It's that time of year where we band together to make a difference for those in the community who are doing it tough coming into Christmas.
Emerald’s H.O.G 21st Annual Toy Run with The Salvation Army is being held Saturday, November 9. The Salvation Army are asking for donations of toys for local kids in the community. Monetary donations are accepted too. Hit Emerald have volunteered to be a drop-off point for the toy drive - we encourage you to drop off your donations to our office at 21 Esmond Street, which we will forward on to The Salvation Army. Here are some guidelines on gift-giving for The Salvation Army: With gift vouchers, consider the following stores: Groceries For more information on The Salvation Army & to donate, head to their website: https://www.salvationarmy.org.au/ Missed the show? Catch up with Nick & Haydo here:
• We gratefully accept gift vouchers. They are ideal gifts for teenagers – and we are always short of gifts for teenagers – and also give a parent who is struggling the joy of purchasing a gift for their child’s unique personality and interests.
• Please consider older age groups when donating gifts. Every year we are overwhelmed with gifts for younger children but always run out of gifts for teenagers and parents.
• Please do not wrap gifts. This allows parents the dignity of choosing gifts for their child from among the donations and also gives them the special experience of wrapping gifts for their child. Feel free to include some wrapping paper or a gift bag for parents to use.
