Gift Wrap to Give Back: STEPS Group Australia Spreads Holiday Cheer at Sunshine Plaza

STEPS Group Australia 2 mins read

[Sunshine Coast, Queensland] – STEPS Group Australia is delighted to announce its upcoming charity event, Gift Wrap to Give Back, at Maroochydore’ Sunshine Plaza shopping centre. This festive initiative invites shoppers to take a break from holiday shopping rush by allowing our volunteers to skilfully wrap their Christmas presents. The best part? All proceeds from this service will go to support STEPS Pathways College.

Gift Wrap to Give Back not only eases the stress of last-minute holiday preparations but also extends the spirit of giving beyond individual presents. Every dollar raised through this initiative will directly contribute to STEPS Pathways College, the first and only college in Australia that provides a unique residential experience, where students with a disability and autism learn to master essential life skills in a secure and supportive environment.

"We believe in making a difference, especially during the holiday season when kindness and generosity can bring warmth to those in need. By participating in Gift Wrap to Give Back, shoppers not only enjoy beautifully wrapped presents but also contribute to a cause that positively impacts our community," said STEPS Managing Director Carmel Crouch.

Join us at the Sunshine Plaza from Dec 1 and help us spread the joy of giving. Together, let's make this festive season a time of celebration and compassion.
