Santa’s Sleigh is Coming to Meopham and Surrounding Areas! 🎅
This festive season, join us as Santa and his sleigh spread holiday magic through Istead Rise and Meopham! 🎄
We’ll be collecting donations for the local foodbank to ensure that families and individuals in need can enjoy a warm, joyful Christmas.
Dates: 9th and 11th December 2024
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM each night (Weather and road access permitting)
Locations:
Istead Rise: 9th December
Meopham: 11th December
How You Can Help:
Donate non-perishable food items or essentials as Santa passes by.
Make a monetary donation (cash or card) to support the foodbank’s vital work.
Together, we can make a difference for those in our community. Every donation—big or small—helps ensure no one is left behind this Christmas.
Rotarians will be walking along the pavement to collect food items and donations. Please make sure children are supervised and do not run into the road with gifts.
