We believe it is important to share our blessings with families who may not have food to eat at Christmas. With this in mind, we raise money every year and our volunteers gather the Saturday before Christmas day in December every year to pack and deliver gift baskets with food for Christmas day and the days before and after. While the gifts we will bring are ordinary, the seeds we plant in the liv
es of the people are special and we need your help to make it happen. From humble beginnings in 2015 (providing food for 25 families) we helped 120 families in 2016 and now in 2017 we plan to gather together around 60 volunteers to make and deliver 200 food baskets to 200 families! There are numerous ways to get involved with supporting the Bournemouth Basket Brigade:
• Attend the ‘Packing Day’ to create and deliver the baskets
• Donate a basket (£15 per basket to feed a family of four)
• Donate any amount of money to buy contents for the baskets
• Nominate a family to receive a basket
• Donate specific food or goods to include within the baskets
Any donation of time or money will make a real difference to those in our local community at Christmas.
