A Message From Our CEO

“Christmas should be a time of joy, but for people living in poverty, experiencing homelessness, or in financial crisis, it is one of the toughest times of the year. Your generous donation to the Seasons of Hope, Centacare Christmas Appeal, supports a range of initiatives we deliver within the community. Food parcels and hampers, blankets and toys, all distributed to those who most need them.

Donations also support Centacare’s annual  Christmas day lunch for people who are ‘doing it tough’. A traditional meal and a visit from Santa, to make Christmas just a little merrier.

Your donation to the Seasons of Hope, Centacare Christmas Appeal, will change the lives of people in our community.

Give the gift of hope this year.”

David Power – CEO – Centacare Family Services
