Bathurst UnitingCare co-ordinator John Hoye said a little help from the community can make a lot of difference.
The annual appeal encourages shoppers to purchase a cardboard bauble for $1 or place a wrapped present under the Christmas tree in Target to help those in need.
“We really do rely on the generous people in our community to dig deep, show compassion and support our appeal this Christmas,” he said.
Mr Hoye said funds raised through the purchase of baubles, or donations in the Appeal’s in-store wishing well, will go to help local charities.
“We’re working through local groups like the women’s refuge, Shine and Wattle Tree House,” he said.
“We’ll also be helping the Uniting Church in Oberon.”
Mr Hoye has asked that anyone wishing to leave a wrapped present under the tree to label it with the suggested age and sex of the recipient.
