This project was the brainchild of ex-Rotarians Gail and John Law in 2005 who approached Corowa's Supa IGA and St Vincent de Paul to assist with helping locals who were doing it tough at Christmas time.

Each year in the lead up to Christmas an area at the Corowa Supa IGA is set up for people to leave donations of non-perishable food. These gifts are given to the local branch of St Vincent de Paul to distribute to local families in need at Christmas time.

This program is non-denominational and all donations are distributed locally.

Christmas Giving Tree

Members of the St. Vincent de Paul and the Rotary Club of Corowa have organised the Christmas Giving Tree at Waldron's Fresh on River - IGA Supermarket for people to leave donations of non-perishable food items over the next six weeks prior to Christmas.

All items received will be collected by the Vinnies Conference team for their annual Christmas Hamper project.

Through the generous support received from our community, the conference members anticipate packing over B0 pre-ordered hampers for collection on Wednesday, December 18.

The focus this year is on non-perishable foods and all donations will be very much appreciated. Local people looking to receive a Christmas hamper, or any assistance can call 0417 119 820, Monday to Friday 9am - 4.30pm.
