Dear North Ryde Community,

We are so grateful for your ongoing support of Australian children in need at Christmas time through our annual Tree of Joy appeal at Cox's Road Mall. Unfortunately, this year due to the ongoing uncertainty of Covid-19, the Smith Family has pivoted their Toy and Book Appeal to be completely digital, ensuring children in need don’t miss out on Christmas morning. As a result, we will not be collecting gifts for the Smith Family at our Tree of Joy this year.

We will collect gifts at the Tree of Joy for children 0-12 years which will be donated to the St Vincent De Paul SocietyPlease note no soft toys this year.

If you would like to make a cash donation to the Smith Family Toy and Book appeal directly, please go to this link: events.thesmithfamily.com.au/event/toybook-2021/donate

For more information about the Smith Family, please go to: thesmithfamily.com.au

The Smith Family is a national charity helping young Australians in need to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves.
