Mayor Cameron McDonald has asked residents, businesses and other organisations to donate to the Mayor's Giving Tree Appeal.
Cr. McDonald said being charitable was always important at Christmas.
"Support for the Mayor's Giving Tree from our community has always been strong and enthusiastic, allowing families doing it tough to fully celebrate Christmas," Cr. McDonald said.
"This Christmas, with the cost of living, there'll be even more families than usual finding it hard to afford gifts for the Christmas tree or stockings, so I ask people who can help to please do so."
Giving Trees are situated in the foyer of Council's administration building in Manning Street as well as at Kiama Library and The Pavilion.
You can place gifts for children up to 14 years under the tree, which are distributed by to local children for Christmas.
Please don't wrap your gift, as they need to be sorted into age groups for distribution.
Gifts may be left under the trees until Friday 6 December 2024.
