The Sapphire Coast Community Christmas Day Lunch exists to help people in this situation. Now into its fifth year, people from right across our beautiful region gather to share a meal, some gifts, but most importantly love! This year, due to demand, there are three venues to choose from, Eden, Merimbula and now Bega.
“This event is not to be missed – it is what Christmas is all about!” one guest declared last year.
Event organiser Janita Fernando is grateful for all the volunteers, donations and support she has received but there is always more that can be done.
“Please invite people along. No-one should eat alone on Christmas Day. We need every person to know that they belong and are loved, especially at this time of the year.”
If you would like to attend on Christmas Day, call Janita on 0427 298 432.
