Christmas Has Arrived at Club Rathdowne!
It’s that time of year when the tinsel comes out and our community lights up with festive cheer! This season, Club Rathdowne is turning into a hub of magic, giving, imagination, and family fun with three special activities designed to bring smiles across neighbourhood.
So, whether your little one is whispering wishes to Santa, you're spreading kindness through generous donations, or you're snuggling in for a Christmas movie under twinkling lights, there’s something here for every member of the Rathdowne family.
Let’s kick off the holiday spirit together!
SALVATION ARMY CHRISTMAS FOOD & GIFT DRIVE
Let’s fill hearts and homes this Christmas.
This year, we’re proud to support the Salvation Army Christmas Food & Gift Drive, helping bring warmth and joy to families doing it tough.
DROP-OFF LOCATION:
Club Rathdowne Reception
DONATIONS CLOSE:
Friday, 5 December
We’re collecting:
- New, unwrapped gifts for children and adults of all ages
- Non-perishable food items to help stock festive tables
Important: Kindly donate only new items. Gifts should be left unwrapped so parents can personally choose what best suits their child’s personality and interests. You're welcome to include wrapping paper or gift bags for parents to use.
Help make Christmas brighter for families doing it tough. Every contribution spreads kindness and reminds us of what community care is all about.
