Parramatta Mission need your help to make Christmas special.

They are preparing for their 2016 Christmas Food and Gift Appeal. Last year, they provided around 1100 hampers to individuals and families who may have been homeless, at risk of homelessness, facing crisis or in need of our assistance. This was more than ever before.

Help make 2016 an even bigger and better Christmas for more people in our community by donating or volunteering this year.
