27th 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, including our rough sleepers.

15 Tubs Full Appeal
Village Clinic, Mt. Eliza, has been a major donor to the
Frankston Community Appeal for the last eleven years.
Their first target was to fill 15 fifty litre plastic tubs with
festive foods of a non-perishable nature. In 2017, the
Village Clinic doctors, nurses, receptionists and allied health
staff, patients and well wishers continued to do an amazing
job and were our largest provider of donated festive goods.
$31,682 total cash donations was a record breaker, and a
significant in-kind donation from Operation Larder supplied
300 units of ham, Christmas cakes, Christmas puddings,
custard and a further in-kind donation of cordial and mixed
lollies was provided thanks to the Frankston RSL.
A special mention to the Silver Linings Charitable Trust
for providing this year’s largest single donation and also
to Allison Monkhouse Frankston for sponsoring our
candlelights for the Frankston Festival of Lights Fundraiser.
