Greek Welfare Centre launches Christmas Appeal to support families in need

·

Sydney’s Greek community is coming together to spread festive cheer and support those in need, as the Greek Welfare Centre of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia hosts its annual Christmas Community Appeal.

The event will take place on Thursday, November 27, from 9 am to 4 pm at Marrickville Town Hall, where attendees are invited to donate packaged food, household items, blankets, gifts, children’s toys, and clothing to assist individuals and families facing hardship.

For further information, community members are encouraged to contact GWC Community Services on (02) 9516 2188.

Since its establishment in 1975, the Greek Welfare Centre has been a cornerstone of support for the Greek Australian community and wider multicultural population.

Originally focused on resettlement assistance for new migrants, the Centre now provides a broad range of services, including aged care, mental health support, family services, and addiction counselling.

The Christmas Community Appeal is part of GWC’s broader commitment to community welfare and inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind – especially during times of economic and social hardship.
