2021 Giving Tree Appeal
The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and giving.
For many, the end of the year can be a difficult time. Some families, individuals, and young people struggle to make ends meet. You can make this season a little brighter for someone in Canberra by giving generously to the CRCS Giving Tree.
Each year, with generous donations from our community, we prepare and distribute up to 100 hampers to households in the Capital Region. A hamper contains some delicious treats, special decorations, and a gift for each family member.
Contactless online donations can also be made at our online fundraising platform. Money donated will be used to purchase items for the 2021 Giving Tree Hampers. To donate visit: https://2021-giving-tree.raisely.com/
