2025 Mayor's Christmas Appeal to support community members in need

Published on 12 November 2025

The Campbelltown community is being encouraged to get into the festive spirit by donating to this year’s Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.

Residents are encouraged to donate their new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items, which will be distributed to members of the community in need.

Items can be placed in the Christmas donation box located in the main foyer of the Campbelltown Civic Centre and in collection boxes at Campbelltown’s four library branches until 4pm on Thursday 18 December.

Donations can also be made at the annual Light the Tree celebration at the Campbelltown Civic Forecourt on Friday 28 November.

All gifts and donations will be collected by the Macarthur Combined Churches and distributed as part of their annual Christmas luncheon.

“The festive season is a time of celebration, but it can be a difficult time for some people in our community. Fortunately, Campbelltown is home to a wonderful and generous community who always show the spirit of Christmas and give generously,” Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Darcy Lound said.

“The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal provides an opportunity for our residents to help people in need. I encourage everyone to get involved so we can help make the festive season a special time for our whole community,” Cr Lound said.

The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is one of the many key events on Campbelltown City Council’s annual Christmas in Campbelltown events program.
