We are proudly also counting down the day to our launch! Watch this space! 🎁

We’re counting down the days until we launch Reverse Advent Calendar 2026! 🎄❤️

A complete list of all the groups registered this year will be published on November 1.

We’re hoping there will be a group near you!
If there isn’t, we’d love to encourage you to create and decorate your own box and consider whether you might like to apply to coordinate a group in 2027.

Every box makes a difference, and together we can spread a little extra kindness this Christmas.

🎁Thank you, thank you, thank you!🎁

To the amazing community who supported Reverse Advent Calendar Adelaide Hills this year, thank you! 💛
Together we collected 65 boxes to be donated to families in need this Christmas, a record for us. We truly couldn’t have done it without your generosity and kindness.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year. Wishing you all a safe, joyful, and festive season. 🎄✨

Karen and Ashleigh,
RAC Adelaide Hills

It isn’t too late to drop off your box! Today though The Salvation Army Adelaide Hills will be collecting them at 3.30pm ready for distribution in the coming days. It’s been so lovely to see some boxes decorated by families- making that extra connection in giving to others this festive season. It was also lovely to meet a little boy and his mum and younger sister, who brought in a game he specifically chose, to give to another family! We are so humbled by the thoughtfulness and generosity towards others in our community this Christmas 🎄 💕

It is the last day of school! As we all head into our festive season plans, if you have the chance, please consider creating your own Reverse Advent Calendar Box for another family. Boxes are due to be returned next Tuesday ready for distribution in the subsequent days. We would love to have as many families as possible experience the joy of Christmas, so please donate if you can! 🎁

We are so thrilled to read of just one of the local families who have supports RAC since its inception, in today’s Courier! Kathryn and Scout from Adelaide Hills Truffle Company have generously donated each year, and each year Scout has grown to appreciate her own unique perspective of giving back to her local community during Christmas. Family traditions that include RAC are a wonderful way to include others this Christmas. It’s not too late to start your own family tradition this year and help another family in need. Reach out directly to arrange collection of your own box ahead of donation returns next week! 👇🏻🎁

Thank you to the thoughtful young lady who put this box together, complete with a recipe card and the ingredients to make some family favourite meals!
If you would still like to collect a box, it's not too late!
