Service

Hi, we’re Alex and Charlie, the new Service captains for 2022. We are so excited to step into this role, and see what we can achieve as a community this coming year!

This year, our first service initiative is the Anglicare Christmas Appeal. Toys’ n’ Tucker is an initiative of Anglicare Sydney which tries to share the joy of Christmas by providing food and gifts for those who might otherwise go without. This past year has been more challenging than ever before, especially for the most disadvantaged in society. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we’re unable to run the Toys’ n’ Tucker drive as usual, with every family bringing donations to be packed by Anglicare into hampers for families in need. Instead, this year, Anglicare is encouraging all of us to donate, and they will be able to organise the hampers.

So, how will it work?

  1. You can donate money through the link provided below (This method helps us keep tally of Redlands contribution and will be paid direct to Anglicare in one amount).
    https://gofund.me/2e6d8ee4
  2. Anglicare will use the donated funds to buy hamper items at wholesale prices
  3. Hampers will be packed at their Villawood Warehouse
  4. They will deliver hampers straight to peoples’ doors, bringing the joy of Christmas with them.

We aim to raise $5000, and once we have reached that, we will host a Christmas-themed mufti day! We hope that every family will be able to donate at least $10. Let’s dig deep to share a little joy this Christmas!

Thanks!
