We are proud to be part of the Peggys Cafe 'Giving Tree' initiative in the lead up to Christmas.

Earlybird - along with a bunch of other local businesses - will be a drop off point for donations that will go to two amazing local charities: Sunshine Bendigo and Lets Chat Park - both are run solely by volunteers, with no government funding.

Sunshine Bendigo help new parents and families in need with essential items.

Let’s Chat Park Bendigo is a mental health group based at the old VRI bowling greens and supports a wide range of community groups who use the space and feeds families twice a week.

We are asking YOU, our amazing community members, to donate unwrapped toys for 0-6yrs for Sunshine Bendigo and gifts or gift vouchers for the displaced and less fortunate adults that Lets Chat see week in, week out.

Well done to Jo at Peggys Cafe for starting the initiative that can truly make a difference to people in our community this Christmas! 🌲
