SAINT NICHOLAS is back in town and ready to see all the lovely boys and girls across the Goulburn Valley and hear their Christmas wishes.
Shepparton Marketplace and local event organiser Enchanted Group have been working really hard with Santa and his friends to organise a very special Bringing Santa to You! event.
On Sunday, December 12 and 19, Santa and his friends will be travelling through the streets of Shepparton giving families the chance to wave to him from their driveways or closest socially distanced place as he travels past on his sleigh.
“2021 has been a challenging year for so many of our local customers, this year we are sharing the joy with a range of free events and giveaways to bring a little extra cheer to the community,” said Shepparton Marketplace centre manager Theresa Lowe.
“Along with proud supporters Freer’s Panel Works and Goulburn Valley Signmakers we have organised a ‘Bringing Santa to You’ event as a way of sharing the joy with families that have been doing it tough this year.”
In addition, this Christmas Shepparton Marketplace will again be a collection point for gifts and gift card donations for Family Care, as a way of sharing the joy with those in need this Christmas.
From now until Christmas Eve, shoppers can simply place a gift card or unwrapped gift suitable for primary school age children into the giant present box located in the Food Court.
“This year has been very difficult for many families, we are thrilled that Shepparton Marketplace have again set up a collection point and hope we can provide many families with a better and brighter Christmas,” Goulburn Child and Family Services Alliance executive assistant Katie Huddleston said.
This year due to COVID19, Shepparton Marketplace are encouraging gift card donations but gifts such as sporting goods, games, toys, books are of course most welcome and will be distributed to local children in time for Christmas.
Shepparton Marketplace will also be sharing the joy with a complimentary Make at Home Christmas Decoration. Shoppers simply collect a free* Kids Christmas Decoration from the Giveaway Booth. Everything the kids need to make and decorate is enclosed in the pack!
