MACNAMARA | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds for Macnamara Christmas Appeal

[Edited extract from public address]

2023 has been another challenging year for all Victorians, especially for those who are spending the holidays in crisis accommodation. 

The annual Macnamara Christmas Appeal collects donations for local charities providing crisis accomodation to those in need: Launch Housing, inTouch, Sacred Heart Mission and Salvation Army Youth Services. 

Last year, the generosity of our community was incredible, and we are hoping to again make a difference to support those most in need this summer.

If you are able to do so, we would greatly appreciate donations of new toys, non-perishable foods, toiletries, skin care, and gift cards.

Josh Burns' office will be accepting donations at 219 Barkly St, St Kilda during business hours until COB Thursday 14 December.

Thank you so much, your generosity is much appreciated.
