The Basket Buddies program grows by approximately 20% each year.  For 2021 our basket goals are:

  • 250 Singles Baskets
  • 400 Homeless Baskets

We can't do it without your help!

Choosing your baskets

There are 3 separate basket types to pledge as a Basket Buddy, depending on where your heart lies.  The overview of each basket is as follows: 

  • FAMILY BASKET: Consists of 2 bags of groceries, intended for a family of 4. Price range $70-$100, depending on what brands you purchase. If you shop for specials, then the cost would be around $60 per basket.  
  • ​​HOMELESS BASKET: Consists of 1 bag of food and other items for our friends on the street. Price range $62-$92 depending on what brands you purchase. If you shop for specials, the cost would be around $55 per basket.
  • SINGLE BASKET: Consists of 1 bag of groceries, intended for a single individual. Price range $40-$60, depending on what brands you purchase. If you shop for specials, the cost would be around $35. 

In 2021 we will also be supporting the Sunshine Coast region.  If you are from the Sunshine Coast and want to support your region please ensure that you select 'FAMILY BASKET (Sunshine Coast Region)'.  We confirm that the FAMILY BASKET (Brisbane Region), HOMELESS and SINGLES BASKETS will be delivered to the greater Brisbane areas only.  Our basket goals for the Sunshine Coast are:

  • 300 Family Baskets (Sunshine Coast)

The shopping list links will be provided to you in your welcome email for you to download.  As each basket is specifically allocated to a nominated family or recipient you must register and purchase a ticket for your pledge for each nominated basket to be a part of the Basket Buddies program. 

Delivering your baskets

There are 3 separate options for the delivery of your baskets which you will be asked to choose from as part of your registration.  The options are as follows:

  1. I will deliver on 30 November (Tuesday) between 10am and 4pm to 39 Mayne Road, Bowen Hills (formerly Easts Leagues Club)
  2. I want to deliver early between 2 and 7 December and understand confirmation of dates and locations will be emailed in November
  3. I will deliver to Packing Weekend on either 10 (Friday) or 11 (Saturday) December
If you select option 2, we will notify you in late November of the various times, dates and locations available all around Brisbane between 2 and 7 December to deliver your baskets to.  

We will communicate the drop off points to the Sunshine Coast Basket Buddies in late November via email.
