Donations came pouring in from Griffith, Yenda, Beelbangera, Hanwood, and Yoogali as well local businesses which donated 11 hampers worth of goodies to go towards the raffle.

All the money raised from the Christmas appeal will go towards medical equipment for Griffith Base Hospital.
It's been a good year for the auxiliary; over the last 12 months they've bought an AccuVein Unit, four Inisa Beam Bed Monitors, three steady lift chairs, a wireless measuring station and ECO machine, three CADD machines, a transfer stretcher and fitting for the oncology ward, an observation station, thermometer, and three dopplers for the maternity ward.
Mrs Ross said the goal for 2020 would be recruiting some more volunteers for the auxiliary.
"We're always looking for more volunteers, especially the younger ones," she said.
