Free Christmas Breakfast!

The Maleny Neighbourhood Centre’s website states: From Mapleton to Kenilworth and everywhere in between, the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre offers a warm embrace, a friendly chat over a cup of tea, and a range of services to assist when you need it.

This is completely accurate, our HT team have always seen how welcoming and supportive they are to everyone whenever we visit. Their services and initiatives include the Community Lunch, Fixit Cafe, Orange Sky Laundry, Youth Cafe, and much more … but the highlight of the year is on December 25th!

On Christmas Day, the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (MNC) throws open its gates to welcome all members of the community to their annual free Christmas Breakfast.

They will be serving bacon and egg rolls, vegan kebabs, fruit, yoghurt and muesli—plus tea and coffee to complement your meal. Festivities begin at 8am and wind down at 10am.

MNC President, Ian Demack, said, “We’ve been promised a visit from Santa, and local musicians, including RubaTuba, will keep everyone entertained with a toe-tapping selection of tunes!

“Last year, over 430 people from all walks of life joined us at 17 Bicentenary Lane, Maleny, for the Christmas Breakfast. It’s a great chance to mingle and make new friends. 

“We have plenty of room, so if you have family or other guests staying with you over Christmas, bring them down too—we’d love to meet them!”

If you wish to volunteer to help out at the breakfast, please ring the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre on 5499 9345 to register your interest. 

If you wish to donate new toys, please drop them off at the Centre. You don’t need to gift-wrap them,” added Ian, “because we’ll be sorting them into different age brackets, to make Santa’s job a little easier.”

The Maley Neighbourhood Centre recognises the generous support received from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, Maleny businesses and local residents, all of whom help make this event possible. 

They all look forward to seeing you on Christmas morning!
