 Hands Across Canberra, a not-for-profit charity organisation that works with over 250 charities and community service organisations across the capital is usually unindated with goods and donations to help Canberrans in need over the festive season. But this year, the Christmas tree is looking a little bare and funds are low. With what has been a challenging and difficult year, many Canberrans are feeling the pressure more then ever. With just a few weeks until Christmas, Charities are now concerned there won't be enough money to support the thousands of people in need this festive season. |
