Christmas Food Drive – Supporting those impacted by the 2025 Mid-Coast Floods.
This Christmas, our community needs your kindness more than ever.
After the devastating floods that swept through our region, many local families have lost homes, possessions, and access to basic necessities. As the holiday season approaches, we want to ensure no family goes without a warm meal or a reason to smile.
We’re calling on our community to come together and donate non-perishable food items and festive treats to help rebuild hope this Christmas.

• Canned goods (meat, vegetables, soups, fruit)
• Pasta, rice, noodles, and sauces
• Breakfast cereals and long-life milk

• Tea, coffee, sugar, and spreads

A Message to Our Community
We know that Wingham’s generosity always shines through. Our town has already been through so much, yet time and again you have shown strength, compassion, and a genuine willingness to help others. By coming together once more, we can support not only our own neighbours, but other Mid-Coast communities still recovering from the devastation of the floods.
Every tin, packet, and pudding helps put hope back on the table for a family this Christmas.
🎄 Together, we can make this Christmas brighter for everyone.
