Quiet Seating: Quiet seating is available at the Senior Citizens Centre (Mechanics Lane) for anyone who may find louder environments challenging, including neurodivergent people and those with hearing difficulties.
Transport: Free transportation to and from the Community Christmas Lunch is available again this year within Mount Alexander Shire! Thanks to Mount Alexander Shire Council, a wheelchair-accessible bus will be on hand. If you, or a friend, family member, or neighbour, would like a seat on the bus, please let us know your area and how many people will need a seat.
Volunteer: The Christmas Community Lunch would not be possible without our incredible team of volunteers! We are looking for help on Tuesday 23rd, Wednesday 24th, or Thursday 25th December. Volunteers can assist in the kitchen, with clean-up/pack-up, decorations, gift wrapping, first aid, wellbeing support, or as a bus driver – among many other roles that help bring the event together. If you’d like to help, please contact reception@cch.org.au or call 5472 4842.
Donate: Can’t attend the Community Christmas Lunch but are keen to contribute? Here are a couple of suggestions that might tickle your generous giving spirit… We are seeking the following donations toward the 2025 Community Christmas Lunch:
- Small gifts for all ages & genders – handmade, homegrown, or store-bought, all are welcome and appreciated! We especially welcome gifts suitable for adults, since we often have plenty for kids.
- Wrapping paper, Christmas crackers, second hand, or homemade decorations
- Monetary donations – go a long way in supporting this free community event.
