Members of the public and local businesses are invited to donate presents for the CIG Gift Giving appeal. The Christmas drive will provide Christmas presents for children, young parents and the elderly clients of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Family Resource Centre (FRC). Donors are asked to take a tag off from the Giving Tree in the public lobby of the Government Administration Building (8.30 a.m. – 5 p.m.) and to return with it affixed to an unwrapped present in a gift bag.

The present drive brings together the former DCFS and FRC Christmas gift appeals. Launched on Monday, 9 and ending at noon on Tuesday, 17 December, the initiative is being backed by the Civil Service. Donors can take a selfie with their tag or present and share using #CIGGIVING
