Melbourne Basket Brigade - the power of giving
“Everyone has the need to contribute. It is one of the six
human needs. If you give from your heart, it will come back to you
tenfold.”
– Anthony Robbins

Basket Brigade - Helping Families like
these......*
The Basket Brigade is founded on a simple notion: one act of
generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives
of hundreds. It takes only one light to dispel the darkness and
just one basket to bring hope. A Basket Brigade takes place when
one person prepares one basket for personal delivery to a needy
family or individual.
Throughout the Christmas holiday season, in over 200
cities across the globe International Basket Brigade volunteers
will deliver food, clothing and hope to those who need it most.
Hundreds of thousands of hungry, needy people are fed by this
incredible effort every year. They are not strangers – they are
people in your own community, people who live in your own city or
town, people who walk the same streets and ride the same buses as
you.
The Basket Brigades are spread across Australia and provide
baskets to all from big cities to small towns. Where ever we
know of a family in need we will deliver a basket.
Last year we packed 3,500
Baskets and provided supplies to a number of the inner city
shelters. This year our aim is to provide a special Christmas
treat to over 6,000 families.
Above is a sample of the goods that go into a Basket Brigade
basket!
It would be a privilege to have you become part of this
wonderful event.
