Lending a helping hand

Armada Dandenong Plaza will be lifting the spirits of Christmas shoppers this year with the addition of ‘Christmas Centre Helpers’ roving around the centre throughout key dates in December offering free coffees, $10 fresh food vouchers and assistance with things like taking shopping to the car.

The Christmas Centre Helpers, wearing Santa hats and red t-shirts, will be on the lookout for customers that need some extra help, whether that be a free coffee pick-me-up or fresh food voucher reward to boost their spirits and get them through the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping.

This is one of many exciting activities Armada Dandenong Plaza will be announcing for Christmas 2018 said Centre Manager Mark Tannahill.

“With it being such a busy time of year, the Christmas Centre Helpers initiative is our way of giving back to our customers this Christmas and keeping spirits high through the festive season.“ Mr Tannahill said.

The Christmas Helpers will spread their festive cheer on the following dates:

Monday 17 – Wednesday 19, 12pm – 5pm

Thursday 20 – Friday 21, 12pm – 6pm

Saturday 22 – Sunday 23, 12pm – 5pm

Monday 24, 12pm – 4pm
