BBB Basket Buddies 2023
Thank you so much for joining us!
In 2023 we are changing our bags to make it a little easier for our Basket Buddies, you know we can only do what we do because of your generosity.
Choosing your baskets
There are 3 separate basket types (and a bulk basket option) to pledge as a Basket Buddy, however they are different this year to allow for different budget options. The overview of each basket is as follows:
- PANTRY BASKET: Consists of 1 bag of groceries, those basic pantry items we all take for granted. Price is approximately $25, depending on brands.
- CELEBRATION BASKET: Consists of 1 bag of groceries, intended to make Christmas a special day. Price is approximately $50, depending on brands.
- HOMELESS BASKET: Consists of 1 bag of food and life essentials for our friends on the street. Price approximately $50 depending on brands.
- BULK BASKETS: If you are collecting items, on behalf of your organisation or group, there is also an option to estimate the number of baskets you will put together.
We will be doing our best to allocate a PANTRY basket AND a CELEBRATION basket to each nominated family or recipient so if you're able to register for one of each it will be most appreciated. Please ensure you register your pledge for each nominated basket to allow us to estimate how many recipients we can assist.
For all the information on the Basket Buddies Programs and answers to all your frequently asked questions see page 2 of the Shopping Lists
Our Goals for 2023:
- 1,500 Pantry Baskets
- 1,500 Celebration Baskets
- 300 Homeless Baskets
but we can't do it without your help!
