The BANSIC Christmas Hamper Appeal

Oct 24, 2025 | News

As the holiday season approaches, The Banyule Support and Information Centre is seeking your support to fill our Christmas hampers, which are distributed to individuals and families in need. December is our busiest month, and our dedicated volunteers are hard at work preparing hampers so that our clients can enjoy a festive meal on Christmas Day.

For many of the people we assist, these hampers make the difference between celebrating Christmas and going without. The demand for this service is high, and we are hoping you can help by displaying our signage and hosting a collection bin at your location. I’ve attached a poster for your reference, and we would be incredibly grateful if you could join us in making a difference this holiday season.

What’s in the Hampers?

Each hamper provides a complete Christmas meal for a family of four, including:

  • Tinned ham
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Christmas pudding or cake
  • Custard
  • Festive decorations and sweets
  • Christmas biscuits
  • Gravy
  • Bonbons

Items can be dropped off at our Foodhub or office. Alternatively, you could donate here.

Thank you so much for your consideration, and for helping us make this Christmas a little brighter for those in need.
