The presents will be distributed by rural chaplains from the Griffith Salvation Army, who have already received over 80 requests for hampers from drought-stricken families.
Salvation Army major Lyn Cathcart said she didn't want anyone to miss out this Christmas.
"There's a big demand this year from the rural communities that are doing it tough," Major Cathcart said.

The hampers are available to anyone doing it tough this Christmas, not just farmers, and more information can be found at the Salvo offices.
