Help people doing it tough

THE community is being urged to help those doing it tough this festive season by supporting the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Appeal.

Mayor Jenny Hill said Townsville City Council was looking to help thousands of locals doing it tough.

“Townsville is a strong, tight- knit community that always bands together when times are tough,” she said.

Cr Hill said the donations would go towards providing up to 1000 hampers.

Donations can be made at www.townsville.qld.gov.au or at 103 Walker St, Townsville City.
