LOCALS can help make Christmas a little brighter for those less fortunate.
A collection of toys and non-perishable food items has begun, with collection points at Ritchies IGA Cobden and Camperdown stores, Terang Co-Op SUPA IGA and the Community Bank Cobden and Camperdown branches.
Camperdown and District Motorcycle Club’s Sam Argyle is again organising the annual drive which will see items donated to the Warrnambool Salvation Army to be distributed among the local network.
He called on the wider community to make a donation to the drive if able.
Mr Argyle said the club had been running the local collection for six years which was part of the wider Warrnambool Motorcycle Toy Run.
He said as well as new toys, donations can include none perishable foods and toiletries.
“Ritchies IGA in Camperdown have already donated a massive amount which I am extremely grateful for,” Mr Argyle said.
“We’ve also had a sizeable donation of toys in Terang.
“We’re just thankful to get anything.”
Members of the Camperdown Motorcycle Club will pick up the donations from the collection points on December 6.
