Alice Springs Community Christmas Lunch
We are raising funds for our Annual Community Christmas Lunch. When: Wednesday 25th December 2024 Time: 11am -3pm/later if needed Where: Desert Knowledge Precinct Treat me Good cafe 475 Stuart Highway, Kilgariff This will be our 5th Year running where we’ve either opened our doors to the community or been able to feed families who are really doing it tough. The reason we do this is simple. It’s needed. Through the year we are constantly feeding families and helping with food hardship. We know Christmas is a time where it’s extremely difficult financially for families and also can be quite an isolating time. During Christmas many critical services leave town for holidays / have only skeleton staff who can not service the needs adequately and it becomes near impossible to help everyone. We want this year to be a year where families and individuals can have a Christmas Day together that’s hosted by us just like a big family Christmas Day. We offer a traditional cold Christmas lunch with Christmas Ham, salads, bread roll, desserts & drinks(non alcoholic). We’d like to be able to play games with the kids, have music and have a relaxed day with everyone and get to know each other, catch up with old mates / meet someone new. In a small town like ours it’s important we gather and get to do this. We know the importance of connection and at times people can get lost and go unnoticed. All donations are used to go towards Christmas lunch any access is pushed over to creating food hampers for families who are in significant hardship. Costs such as - Food, transport, decorations, presents, disposables, costs to have rubbish taken away etc. Lunch is open to EVERYONE & ANYONE. Come as you are. All cost break downs will be made public for donors and as a matter of transparency. We also accept donations - Food Time Baked goods Vegetables Entertainment / services Presents for children Email shahn@treatmegoodmparntwe.com

Hi friends, What a week of organising, receiving such generous donations of money and people contacting us that they’ll be coming over the next 3 days. This is all because of every single persons effort to contribute to Marlene’s or simply share to get it out there to people. I have found that from around the 18th-25th we will get most engagement from people as they finish up work or as they build the courage to contact us and let us know they’d love some help this year for delivering lunch to them or if we can help organise for them to come to us. It’s brave to ask for help and also to coles out not knowing what to expect. In all we just hope to show that everyone has a place, you are seen and wanted + a big part of our community. We will continue to push the fundraising and pray we are able to provide to everyone that needs this. We hope everyone is having a good weekend and looking forward to some rest over the next few weeks. TMG team x

Thank you to everyone who has donated here and also those who have reached out to offer your time, talents, food and also sharing such an important day of the year. We’ve had offers for a DJ, a musical item, toys / gifts & food. I’ve had organisations reach out to let us know numbers and many individuals reach out as well. We will increase our target to be able to cover as much of the true cost as possible. We will continue to update here as we get closer to Christmas Day and Prep 🙏🏾🤍 Please remember we also do deliveries for those who can not make it to us. Please email me.
