This year, Encircle will be providing Christmas hampers to support local families during these challenging times.
Support for the hamper drive is particularly important in these difficult times when many people are enduring financial hardship and homelessness.
We are asking for your generous support with food and/or gifts for children aged between 0-16 years. We are also taking registrations from families that may need assistance this year with a Christmas hamper.
