BOOKINGS for the GV Community Christmas Lunch are open, inviting anyone who may otherwise spend Christmas Day alone to share a festive meal with the community.
The free lunch will be held at the McIntosh Centre at the Shepparton Showgrounds, 11am to 2pm, offering a welcoming space for people to enjoy good food, company and Christmas cheer. Children will also be entertained with face painting and games throughout the day.
Organisers are encouraging anyone who would like to attend to reserve a place to assist with catering. Bookings can be made by calling Sue on 0456 125 237 between 9am and 6pm daily.
This year’s event includes a dedicated sensory area for guests who require a quieter, more controlled space. Guests with sensory needs are asked to mention this when booking.
Limited transport, including wheelchair accessible transport, is available this year thanks to the support of Fords Coach Travel and Goodfellows. Organisers urge attendees to book early if they require transport, with bookings closing at 6pm on Tuesday, December 23.
The GV Community Christmas Lunch aims to ensure no one in the region has to spend Christmas alone and continues to grow each year as a valued tradition of connection and support. Those who’d like to give back and be part of the magic are invited to enquire about volunteer opportunities.
