Broadford charity Love in Action has once again thanked the community for its generosity this festive season.

The group set up giving trees at Chemist Discount Centre Kilmore, Coles, Kilmore Anglican Church, Country Soul Cafe, Broadford Living and Learning Centre, and Bendigo Bank branches in Kilmore and Broadford to collect donations of gifts and groceries.

Broadford Primary School was also involved in shopping at IGA to prepare Love in Action hampers.

Love in Action Broadford founder Barb Radford said she was not only overwhelmed with the support received but also the Christmas spirit that shone through.

“One of the things that was terrific was people with young children taking their kids and explaining to them why they’re going shopping for other families and just getting them involved,” she said.

“The kids are learning about looking after others, not just themselves all the time and taking care of others, so for me that’s always the most rewarding part of it all.”

Ms Radford said the donations were ‘bringing the real spirit of Christmas into the community’.

“We like to work with people, it’s not just giving out the food, it’s the interaction with the people and putting a smile on their faces and the kids’ faces. That’s the important part of Christmas,” she said.
