Tori Starr calling for donations for Operation Secret Santa

Operation Secret Santa Aged Care NT, an initiative aimed at providing Christmas presents to seniors in aged care facilities, celebrates its 11th year of operation. Organizer Tori Starr shares that the program has delivered nearly 10,000 gifts since its inception, with a goal of distributing around 1,600 presents this year across various regions, including Darwin, Nulamboy, and the Red Centre.

The presents are collected through donations from the community, with drop-off locations listed on their Facebook page. Volunteers play a crucial role in the packing and distribution process, with efforts ramping up in November as they prepare to start packing gift bags. Starr emphasizes the importance of community involvement, noting that the initiative has grown significantly from its humble beginnings at her kitchen table, now supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. The program aims to ensure that no senior is forgotten during the holiday season, highlighting the generosity of Territorians in making this possible.
