Community Link is running Christmas campaigns to help ensure all individuals and families in the Upper Clutha can celebrate this festive season.

This year’s theme is ‘everyone CAN make a difference’.

The one-stop community support and connection centre is partnering with New World Three Parks from next week (November 11) with the ‘Everyone CAN’ Christmas appeal.

Until December 22, customers can donate products in-store at New World Three Parks, with products in specially marked trolleys to make donations simple.

In a statement New World Three Parks said Community Link does “incredible work supporting the community and [providing] a helping hand to those going through a rough patch”.

The company was pleased to be part of Everyone CAN.

Locals can also make donations of toys - which will be passed on to families with children ahead of Christmas - at Wānaka Mitre 10 MEGA.

Wānaka Mitre 10 MEGA will have toy collection bins open from tomorrow (November 8) until December 14.

Gifts are also being accepted at the Wānaka Community Hub.

Community Link general manager Kate Murray said the organisation is also accepting donations for anyone who would like to make a financial contribution ahead of Christmas.

“When we all give together it amounts to hundreds of pieces of kindness and every piece of small kindness adds up,” Kate said. 

“All of the team at Community Link are so incredibly appreciative and grateful of the community’s support of the Christmas Food appeal so every family in the Upper Clutha can enjoy this Christmas to the fullest,” she said.
