Your kindness and thoughtfulness have brought joy and hope to those who need it most during this special time of year.

Wishing you and your families a New Year filled with happiness and peace!
FamilyCare’s Gift trees provide the opportunity to create a direct and personal impact, bringing joy and spreading the true spirit of Christmas. It is a wonderful way to involve others and make a collective difference.
Below are some questions and answers that may help you make the most of the gift trees and thank you very much for your support of this great initiative.
FamilyCare is also recruiting volunteers for the Shepparton Marketplace Gift Wrapping Station, commencing 12 December through to 24 December. All funds raised come back to FamilyCare! Click here to register your interest. Download the flyer here.
How will the Gift trees work?
Please take a gift tag from the tree. The tags represent specific ages and genders of children who we would like to give a gift to this year. Participants can purchase corresponding gifts and place the unwrapped items under the tree. FamilyCare will then arrange to distribute the gifts to those who need them most.
Where can I find a FamilyCare Gift Tree?
What can I put under the tree?
Please use the gift tags as a guide for your purchase. We are also able to take gift cards, coffee or cafe vouchers or groceries only vouchers. Please no alcohol or cigarettes as we are unable to give these to clients.
Who will receive a gift?
All gifts will be provided to families identified by FamilyCare who are in need over the Christmas period. This is the same as previous years.
What is the closing date for donations?
Monday 18 December. This will ensure we have enough time to sort the gifts and distribute these to families in need.
How should I promote it to my workplace and friends?
Please like, share and tag our social media posts.
