Thank you for your interest!
We’re so glad you’re here for this year’s Basket Buddies Program.
Hello! and here's what you need to know about the Program
The Sydney Basket Brigade's Basket Buddies program offers our donors the opportunity to create and donate a whole basket to feed a family, a single person or homeless person in need.
It’s super easy to support someone in our community this coming festive season with much needed sustenance and love. While you might never get to meet the recipient of your basket know that all the baskets are received with gratitude.

Choosing your baskets
There are 3 separate basket types to pledge as a Basket Buddy:
- FAMILY BASKET: Choose a medium - large sized box, one that you can carry when it's full, and fill with staples, some Christmas treats and a gift intended for a family of 4. The approximate cost for this basket is $70, based on buying non branded items or items on sale
- SINGLE BASKET: Consists of 1 box of goodies and Christmas treats and a gift for a single person living at home
- HOMELESS BAG: Fill a Bunnings, Woolies or Coles bag with food items that can be resealed, that can be reconstituted with hot water and do not require refrigeration. This list of staples also includes some Christmas goodies and a gift for our friends on the street..
Price range varies depending on what brands you purchase. If you shop for specials, then the cost would be much less per basket.
Food requiring refrigeration and items that have a best before or expiry date prior to Feb 2023, will be removed.

As each basket is specifically allocated to a nominated family or recipient you must register and purchase a "ticket" for your pledge so that we can ensure each wonderful basket is received..
