Staff ReporterStirling Times

It is calling on residents to take gifts to its Osborne Park office or to purchase them online at www.|missionaustralia.com.au/christmaslunch and they will be distributed at its Christmas Lunch in the Park.

Mission Australia State Director Melissa Perry said all contributions would help cover the cost of making Christmas Day a special one for up to 2000 people who might be isolated or lonely.

‘Our lunch is open to people from all walks of life, it’s about bringing the community together.’
