Branch out for giving

Cardinia Shire Council’s new space age looking Civic Centre in Officer will have a much needed touch of green about it this Christmas.
To support the 4Cs Food Bank to help needy families, a donation collection box has been set up under the Christmas tree in the centre’s foyer to encourage visitors to donate food.
Council staff are also donating to this very worthy cause.
Mayor Leticia Wilmot said shortbread is one welcome item, along with other non-perishable food stuffs such as tinned vegetables.
“Council staff have been donating goods to the 4Cs for several years and will continue to do so again this year,” she said.
“We also hope residents coming into the council offices over the next week or so can also bring items for food hampers and Christmas gifts.”
