I'm always blown away by the generosity of people in Macnamara. We've started the Macnamara Christmas appeal this year. We're accepting new toys, non-perishable foods, toiletries and skincare for three amazing organisations. They are: Launch Housing, who provide homeless services for people who need a safe place during this holiday period; the Salvation Army Youth Services, who look after young people who need crisis accommodation; and, finally, inTouch, a family violence specialist service that provides support to victims of domestic violence from migrant and refugee backgrounds. If you're in Macnamara and you want to give to our incredible Christmas appeal, please drop off at my office at 219 Barkly Street, St Kilda. We're very, very proud of everyone who gives during this holiday period, and we say thank you to those who are part of that Christmas appeal and happy birthday to Adele.
