Lions spread Christmas cheer
THE Lions Club of Warrnambool is hoping visitors to Gateway Plaza will help spread some Christmas cheer this season.
As has become tradition, the Lions organisation will once again sell Christmas cakes and puddings in the lead-up to Christmas Day as one of their major fundraisers.
From next Monday, a stall will be set up inside Warrnambool’s Gateway Plaza in the hope that visitors will purchase a cake or pudding, or make a donation that will help others in need.
“Our cakes and puddings are staples for Australians at Christmas time as they have a magic ingredient – they all make a difference in the local community,” Lions club member Sue Amos said.
“All funds raised from these sales are redirected to Lions clubs and their initiatives.
“The last few years have been extremely tough for the local community, with a cost-of-living crisis and a tumultuous global pandemic.”
