Gold Coast, QLD
Gold Coast Community Christmas Lunch

This is a FREE Christmas Lunch for all Gold Coasters. Because no one should spend Christmas Day alone and go without a visit from Santa.

Here is some additional information for those who want to be involved in our Christmas Day Lunch for the homeless and lonely of the Gold Coast. Labrador State School has the most fantastic hall that we will use again this year. Details:
- 11:00am - 2:00pm Christmas Day (Guests)
- 9:00am - 3:00pm Christmas Day (Volunteers)
- Imperial Parade, Labrador (off Government Rd)

It takes many of us to make this happen. We are not so concerned about volunteers on the day, as we always have many keen, generous people willing to help out. What we really need is to get a group of well-connected movers and shakers together so that we can source everything we need for the day. So, that is where you come in! We envisage 600+ people, including families on the day and we need to have food, drink and festivities for all. We will have gifts for all of the guests, entertainment and a full sit down lunch for our guests. So…who do you know, and how can you help? We need a happy band of Gold Coasters to organise:

- A mobile cool room
- Hams and chicken for 600+ people
- Coles, Myer or Aldi gift cards to give to the struggling mums and dads
- Soft drink, tea and coffee
- Custard and ice cream
- Ice
- Disposable cutlery and crockery
- Table cloths and napkins
- Entertainment
- Gifts for the children (all new)
- Beautiful souls to volunteer on Christmas Eve to pre-cook the veggies and meat and
wrap all the presents

Each year on December 1st at 7:00am we release the Online Registration Form for our volunteers to sign up to, so keep an eye out so that you can be a part of this fantastic event. If you are a guest and are in need of transport to and from the event please call 0433 414 416 and we will arrange for one of our volunteers to be your chauffeur for the day.
