Looking for a way to give back to your community?

MCNC is looking for people to support their Christmas Hamper Basket project. Every year there are families who need some support to have the enjoyable Christmas feast everyone deserves.

The attached is a guideline of how to purchase at minimal cost for the next 12 weeks and be able to provide a struggling family with valuable food support this Christmas.

If you are interested in supporting this project, please reach out to our Support Coordinator Kristy for a chat, or just follow the 12 week outline and drop off your completed basket at the centre by the first week of December.

Charity at its core is an expression of global solidarity. It brings people together to build more just and resilient societies, whether through direct giving, volunteering, or collective action. Beyond immediate aid, charity strengthens healthcare, education, cultural preservation, and the protection of vulnerable groups.
