Acknowledgements Community Appeal 2014 Monetary Donations and Goods In-Kind Support Community Support Frankston would like to thank all the following people, schools, churches and other organisations who donated food, vouchers, toys, goods, gave cash donations or raised funds which made the 2014 Frankston Community Appeal successful. Frankston Community Appeal “Live locally, give locally” 24th Annual Frankston Community Appeal 15 Tubs Full Appeal Each year CSF seeks cash donations to buy non-perishable groceries to put together 200 festive hampers for Frankston families – each worth approximately $50. Many local businesses, organisations and schools run their own grocery collections and give CSF donations of festive food for our volunteers to make into additional hampers for individuals. Over the past nine years, the Village Clinic, Mt Eliza has been a major donor to the Frankston Community Appeal. In 2010 they started the “15 Tubs Full” campaign. Their first target was to fill 15 fifty litre plastic tubs with festive foods of a non perishable nature. Cash and In-kind donations 2014: A record 550 hampers with food and gifts distributed to local families and people living alone. These hampers were put together using: $13,871 total cash donations up to 12 January 2015 PLUS an estimated $15,000 value in donated groceries, gifts and toys. 28 With each passing year the bar has been raised higher. In 2011, eighteen tubs were filled, then 27 in 2012. This grew to 46 in 2013 then in Christmas 2014, the Village Clinic doctors, nurses, reception and allied health staff, patients and well wishers filled 55 tubs. Community Support Frankston thank everyone involved in this campaign in what we realise is a very busy time of year in a very busy doctor’s surgery. Their efforts have made Christmas more festive for many, many local families.
