Tuesday 5 December is the deadline for donations to the Victor Harbor Christmas Appeal.

It is an opportunity to give to those in need and assist local families, who may be experiencing challenges this festive season.

Donations of non-perishable foods, gift vouchers, toys and games, personal accessories, or Christmas items are all welcome.

Aimed at making a difference to families in need on the Fleurieu Peninsula, the appeal is a joint effort of the City of Victor Harbor, the Salvation Army, South Coast Christian Community Care and many businesses across the region.

Gifts for any age group are welcome, but all donations must be non-perishable. 

A list of suggested gifts can be found on the council website. 

Major drop-off locations include the Victor Harbor Civic Centre and the Salvation Army centre in Bartel Boulevard.

The full list of drop-off locations across the southern Fleurieu region can be viewed online. 

Families in need of assistance can register details online.
