Hate wrapping Christmas presents?

The Craigieburn Salvation Army has the answer.

The Salvation Army has set up a Christmas present wrapping station at Craigieburn Central, and will wrap presents for a small donation.

The donations will help the Salvos provide for others across the Christmas period.

Like many other local community groups, the Salvation Army has seen an increase of people needing help due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The wrapping station will be opposite Big W every day between now and Christmas, with extended hours between December 20 and December 24.

The Salvos have also set up collection points at Coles Craigieburn Central, Woolworths at Highlands and Coles in Roxburgh Park Shopping Village for anyone wanting to donate food, which will be distributed to families in need across Hume.

Anyone needing help or support this Christmas, can call the Craigieburn Salvos Doorways team on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on 8339 4987.
