Vinnies Christmas Giving Tree

With Christmas fast approaching, the University is proud to continue its tradition of collecting gifts to bring joy to families in need during this special time.

This year we are partnering with Vinnies SA, who are seeking gifts for children of all ages, with a particular focus on teenagers who often miss out of age appropriate gifts.

Not sure what to buy a teenager, here are some ideas:

• Diaries/journals
• Sporting equipment
• Beach and outdoor gear
• Backpacks/handbags
• Puzzles, books and board games
• Art and craft supplies
• Gift cards
• Perfume, aftershave or toiletries

To donate, simply place your unwrapped gift under the Vinnies Giving Tree at the below locations by midday, Thursday 5 December 2024.

Donation Locations so far are:
North Terrace campus - The Mitchell Building Foyer
North Terrace campus - Helen Mayo South Building, near Prof Andrew Zannettino's office
250 North Terrace, Reception Area
Rundle Mall Plaza, Level 3 outside the conference room

Roseworthy campus - Maitidli Café
