DISADVANTAGED families and those without loved ones gathered at Wellington Square in East Perth today for the 37th annual Christmas Lunch in the Park, a charity event organised by Mission Australia.
The lunch - Perth's biggest charity event - provides them with food, gifts and entertainment so they can enjoy Christmas Day.
Mission Australia state director Melissa Perry said the event brought the community together in Christmas spirit.
"Our lunch is open to people from all walks of life who don't have friends or family to share the Christmas experience with," she said.
"We welcome them to come along and be a part of our community on Christmas Day, to enjoy a meal, entertainment and great companionship.
"We also recognise the importance of volunteers in making CLIP happen, many of whom have been helping us for years. In particular we'll be recognising the efforts of our wonderful volunteer coordinator, Rob de Souza, who has been giving his time for 20 years now."
Ms Perry said the event was a key feature of Perth's festive season, bringing the public, companies and hundreds of volunteers together to make sure Christmas was a special time for everyone.
