Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking applications from local community groups to be involved in the 2015 Christmas charity wrapping service in the Maude Street Mall.
The successful applicants would receive $250 towards their non for profit organisation plus all gold coin donations over the allocated four day period.
The successful applicants would be required to work up to four days in a row and be responsible for opening and closing the Santa workshop. Council’s Manager Investment Attraction Geraldine Christou encouraged local community groups to apply.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for local community groups to earn some additional income whilst removing the stress of gift wrapping from our shoppers,” Ms Christou said.
“The Christmas wrapping service provides even more reasons to shop locally this Christmas and support our local traders.”
Four groups will be selected to take part.
For more information, or to apply visit greatershepparton.com.au. Applications will be received until 23 October.
