Sydney Markets and Auburn Police have partnered to support locals in need during the 2023 Christmas holiday. Local communities have been impacted by the rising cost of living so Sydney Markets has put together some gift hampers, courtesy of Paddy’s Markets.
Auburn Police have teamed up with Paddy’s Markets to give the gift of groceries this Christmas, providing local seniors with a month’s worth of food and hygiene essentials to help ease their cost of living expenses this holiday period.
Each basket contains pantry staples such as eggs and honey, as well as fresh produce such as grapes, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. The hampers also include basic living essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste and body wash soap.
A post on the Auburn Police Area Command’s Facebook Page said, “Paddy’s Markets partnered with Police and graciously donated some food hampers to the seniors. This helped to spread a little cheer over the festive season… All the hampers were received with plenty of positive feedback.”
The Auburn Police were out this week in a white and blue “Santa Sleigh” dropping off the baskets to 22 seniors who are part of the Auburn Police’s Seniors Care Register. Seniors part of the program are either independently living and reside alone or have minimal family contact.
