FamilyCare, Greater Shepparton City Council and the Greater Shepparton Foundation are pleased to launch a very different looking Baskets of Joy 2020.
Like many other things this year, Baskets of Joy 2020 is going virtual.
The aim however stays the same – the Christmas appeal benefits the children, young people, parents and carers assisted by FamilyCare and partner agencies through the year.
In light of the current restrictions we are now living with, we have set up a way for people to make a monetary donation by purchasing ‘virtual’ basket items. The value of your purchases will be the value of your donation, which will then be used to purchase Baskets of Joy grocery gift cards for families in need. A safe way to donate, and a bit of fun!
How do I get involved?
There are two ways you can support Baskets of Joy this year:
