Central Queensland University staff have put their hands in their pockets for charities this Christmas in the hope they can make the festive season more enjoyable for a few battling families in Central Queensland.
Donations came in from across the Rockhampton campus for the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal, filling a number of Santa sacks with festive foods and gifts.
Staff and international students from CQU's Language Centre also got into the Aussie Christmas spirit of giving and donated to a needy Rockhampton family through the St Vincent de Paul Society.
The aim was to help students feel part of the local community by giving to those less fortunate.
Staff and Students from CQU's Language Centre dug deep and gave to St Vincent de Paul.The donation was made up of non-perishable grocery items, Christmas presents for family members and Christmas treats such as bonbons and decorations.
