Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking applications from local community groups to be involved in this year’s Christmas Community Gift Wrapping service.
Gift wrapping services will be taking place in the Christmas Wonderland hub in the Maude Street Mall from Saturday 3 to Saturday 24 December from 10.30am to 4.30pm and we are calling for community volunteers to help coordinate.
Local community groups or not-for-profit organisations can volunteer team members to run a shift and in return will receive a $300 donation from Greater Shepparton City Council in addition to all the gold coin donations received from the allocated gift wrapping shift.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali encouraged local community groups to apply.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for locals and community groups to receive donations and share the festive spirit,” Cr Sali said.
“The Christmas wrapping service provides even more reason to shop local these holidays and support local businesses and community groups.”
Applications are open until Friday 25 November.
For more information please contact Greater Shepparton’s Place Manager on 5832 9700
