Christmas For Everyone

December 20, 2024

A heart-warming display of community spirit has begun filling digital screens across the Hinchinbrook shire and beyond with locals taking to social media to share a “Christmas for Everyone” thread.

A simple concept, “Christmas for Everyone” asks the community to comment something they may need but cannot afford or something they have but no longer need with the post reading:

“What is one thing you cannot afford but need right now? Let’s see if others have what you’re looking for lying around, and would love to gift it, or have a connection to get it. Perhaps we can help each other through tough times and make Christmas a little special for everyone.”

Commentors across various pages have shared the post, encouraging a wonderful world of Christmas cheer, kindness and generosity neighbour to neighbour, with people offering up everything from a home cooked meal to a trampoline.

Although the concept dose not directly entail any monetary exchanges, some members of the community have gone the extra mile, and have purchased items others had asked for, giving a truly selfless gift to those in need.
