Our Appeal is now closed.

Thank you for giving kindness this Christmas.

Kindness of spirit has shone through across the region with the annual Geelong Giving Tree Appeal raising more than $109,000 to support those experiencing hardship this festive season.

Now in its 23rd year, the Appeal supports individuals and families seeking support through Meli, The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre (The SAFV Centre), Cultura and Wathaurong.

This year, with your help a brighter Christmas will be experienced by approximately 2,396 people, including adults and children, who will receive e-gift vouchers to put presents under the tree or food on the table.

If you are still wanting to give back and help support others in our community, we are still accepting donations. 

All donations received will go to families who we are supporting and need financial assistance at Christmas or other times of the year.  Just select in the drop down box where you’d like your donation to go.
