A group of charities and volunteers will be offering the service for gold coin donations.

Volunteers from local charities are offering gift wrapping services at Mandurah Forum in a bid to raise funds for those in need this holiday season.

For a gold coin, shoppers can have their gifts wrapped and support Foodbank Peel, Helping Minds, K9 Dog Refuge and Compassionate Friends.

All of these charities are working to help those in need during the festive season.

Mandurah Forum Centre Manager Jacqueline McKenzie said 100% of all proceeds from the gift wrapping service would go directly to charities involved.

"Our charity wrapping station is in action right up until we close on Christmas Eve, so it' the perfect opportunity to add that special touch to your presents - while saving time and supporting a great cause at the same time," Ms McKenzie said.

Foodbank Peel will also collecting food donation in centre.

Foodbank Peel Branch Manager Megan Reynolds said the donations will help to purchase additional food to stock on their shelves during one of the busiest times of the year.

“Every dollar donated provides two meals, so it really does make a difference, so we are hoping that the spirit of giving shines through,” she said.

The gift wrapping service is located near Boost Juice and Woolworths, and operates from 10am to 4pm every day and is open until 7pm on Thursday nights.
