Yarraville residents are encouraged to dig deep for disadvantaged children across the western suburbs for this festive season.
The Yarraville Traders Association is once again teaming up with the Les Twentyman Foundation to provide gifts to disadvantaged children as part of its giving tree initiative.
Association president Chris Byrne said visitors or residents can donate to the initiative at the Yarraville Grill’d restaurant from Thursday, December 1.
“A small gift can make Christmas a little bit better for kids in the community,” he said.
Mr Byrne said donations should be left unwrapped to reduce processing time.
“It’s really a community initiative,” he said.
“A lot of the traders will be donating gift vouchers.”
Yarraville Village will also have a number of special visitors ahead of Christmas Day, including Santa Claus on Saturday, December 10 and Saturday, December 17 from 3pm to 4pm, the Pitchface choir on Saturday, December 17 from 4pm to 5pm and a skating elf and the Grinch on Friday, December 23 from 5pm to 6pm.
