Wests Campbelltown & Big Yellow Umbrella launch 2022 Giving Tree to benefit families in need via a network of community services
Wests Group Macarthur has again partnered with local charity Big Yellow Umbrella to support families in need over Christmas, with the 2022 Giving Tree Appeal running from Friday 4th November through to Monday 12th December.
Wests Group and Big Yellow Umbrella are encouraging the community to donate new, and unwrapped Christmas gifts for children of all ages underneath the Giving Trees, set up across all Wests Group Macarthur venues, including Wests League Club Leumeah, Country Club Gledswood Hills, Lakeside Golf Club Camden as well as other locations including Narellan Town Centre and Storage King Narellan.
People interested in donating will not need to pre-label or gift tag items as these will be allocated based on where the need is greatest around the time of gift wrapping and distribution. Gifts for teenagers and adults, including Mums and Dads, are also welcome and items that can help create a lovely Christmas Day experience, including tableware and decorations. With consideration of the additional financial pressure felt by many families, a suggested gift limit of $20 applies. There will also be a cash donation option available via Wests Group Reception tills up to $20 should anyone wish for the BYU team to purchase a practical gift for the appeal on their behalf.
Last year the initiative delivered over 800 presents to some of the most vulnerable and disadvantage families in the region and we hope to achieve similar in 2022
