Volunteers expect they will need 600-700 food hampers for people in need on the Redcliffe Peninsula this Christmas, up from about 500 last year.
The Redcliffe Community Care Network 2024 Christmas Appeal has been launched this week, combining the efforts of many community groups and services to help those doing it tough.
The Breakfast Club Redcliffe is part of the network and one of the organisations accepting donations of non-perishable food items, toys and Christmas items.
Spokeswoman Michelle Gilchrist says the hampers are not just a treat for people at Christmas, they aim to get people through the two-week period when many services and avenues for support close.
