Mayor’s Christmas Appeal returns to brighten the season for local families

From now until 24 November 2025, residents, schools, businesses and community groups are invited to donate non-perishable food items and new gifts to help those in need.

There are more than 45 donation locations across the City, including the Civic Centre, libraries, community centres and participating schools and businesses, making it simple to get involved.

The appeal is delivered in partnership with trusted local charities including No Limits Perth, The Spiers Centre, St Vincent de Paul Society WA, The Pantry WA, Rainbow Church and Grandcarers WA, who will ensure donations reach those who need them most.

Mayor Linda Aitken said the annual appeal reflects the compassion and generosity that define the Wanneroo community.

“Christmas is a time for connection, kindness and hope,” she said.

“Each year, I’m inspired by how our community comes together to support one another. Whether it’s a tin of food or a toy for a child, every donation reminds people that they’re not alone and that their community cares.”

Suggested donations include pantry staples like tinned goods, pasta, long-life milk and festive treats, as well as unopened personal care products and new, unwrapped gifts for children and families.

Please note that cash and gift card donations cannot be accepted.
