“Live locally, give locally”
26th Annual Frankston Community Appeal
Each year CSF seeks cash donations to buy non-perishable
groceries to put together festive hampers – each worth
approximately $100 - for Frankston families. Many local
businesses, organisations and schools run their own grocery
collection events and give CSF cash and in-kind donations
for our volunteers to make into additional hampers for
individuals.
Village Clinic, Mt. Eliza, has been a major donor to the
Frankston Community Appeal for the last ten years. Their
first target was to fill 15 fifty litre plastic tubs with festive
foods of a non-perishable nature. In 2016, the Village
Clinic doctors, nurses, receptionists and allied health staff,
patients and well wishers filled 104 tubs - which is the most
in the appeal’s history.

families and people living alone. These hampers were put
together using:

a significant in-kind donation from Operation Larder which
supplied 300 units of ham, Christmas cakes, Christmas
puddings, custard and a further large in-kind donation of
cordial and mixed lollies from Frankston RSL.
A special mention to Centenary Park Golf Club in Frankston
for providing this year’s largest single donation and also
