A hand to wrap, pack and deliver

The Sunshine Coast Basket Brigade is packing, wrapping and delivering food hampers and presents to hundreds of families on the Sunshine Coast this Christmas, but need some help to do it.
“We had a great time last year preparing 200 hampers,” volunteer co-ordinator Petra Westphal said.
“It’s a fun and rewarding day. Being surrounded by like-minded people and being able to do something special for a family who is doing it tough this year is an amazing feeling.”
This year the Sunshine Coast Basket Brigade have committed to delivering 300 hampers.
“It’s a big undertaking, and we need some more support to deliver everything on time,” she said.
If you have time on 9 December, registration starts from 8.30am at the Noosa District State High School, Tulip Street, Cooroy, to help wrap, pack and deliver presents (you can choose to do all or some of these tasks).
We would love to hear from you. To register, you can go straight to our link goo.gl/forms/mky9L0nAMCoR1NSr1 or you can send Petra an email at sunshinecoastbasketbrigade@magicmoments.org.au and she’ll get the information to you.
