Geelong Giving Tree Appeal

Can you give kindness this year to help support local families this Christmas?

We are proud to support the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal again, in 2024. 

Last year, the Appeal supported more than 2,445 local residents, including 1,422 children, helping to bring a little bit of joy on Christmas Day.

This Christmas, let’s unwrap the true spirit of the season — kindness.

Meli, in partnership with The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre, is calling on our community to donate to the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal.

From now until December 10th, you can play a part in bringing joy to those who need it most by donating or fundraising for the Appeal.

To help spread kindness, from the 30 November, Geelong’s City Hall will be lighting up with images and messages of kindness, as seen through the eyes of children from Meli kindergartens.

Together, let’s “Give Kindness this Christmas” and fill our community with love and hope. 

Donations can be made between 15 November – 10 December - visit the  Geelong Giving Tree Appeal website.

If you’d like to fundraise for the Appeal, please email [email protected]
