The Examiner hopes to spread some extra cheer to those in need this festive season, as it launches its 109th Empty Stocking Appeal.
This year members of the community are being challenged to raise $2000 per day of the appeal, which would see the goal of $60,000 reached by December 25.
Each and every dollar raised will be split evenly between four local charities, the St Vincent de Paul Society, the Launceston Benevolent Society, City Mission and the Salvation Army.
