Brisbane Basket Brigade Corporate Volunteer Program - Christmas Food and Cheer Drive

Since 1995, throughout the Christmas season, the Basket Brigade of the Magic Moments Foundation have worked with grassroot organisations to anonymously deliver food, clothing, toys and hope to those who need it most!  The Brisbane Basket Brigade is part of a not-for-profit national charity run entirely by volunteers through the Magic Moments Foundation of Australia.

The concept of Basket Brigades exist all around the world however each brigade is run independently of the other.   We are a non-religious, non-political organisation, bringing together like-minded people who make a difference to others’ lives.

We are proud to say that in Brisbane we support over 70 local grassroot charities who nominate our recipients and that all donations, gifts and funds raised by the Brisbane Basket Brigade are returned back to our very own local Brisbane community.

The Brisbane Basket Brigade is all about giving back at Christmas.  It’s about volunteers helping those who have fallen on hard times or those who might need to be reminded that someone cares.  It’s about making sure that Christmas is full of love and the spirit of giving for everyone.

Our Committee of volunteers deliberately seek out recipients, via our grassroot charities, who might otherwise fall through the cracks and not seek help – children, women, families, the elderly, the hungry, refugees and the homeless.

Full details of our Corporate Program can be found on our website here.

We have many different ways that you can support BBB as a corporate supporter.  Whether you’re a small office of just a couple of people wanting to run your own internal gifting program or a large  company/retail chain/gym/factory that wants to collaborate with your clients and customers, we have a program that is sure to fit. 

This event is for our Corporates wanting to sign up specifically for our christmas food and cheer drives.  

Our 2020 goals are to deliver over 1,700 baskets of food through our Basket Buddies Program.  These are broken down as follows:

- 1,200 Family Baskets

- 300 Homeless Baskets

- 300 Singles Baskets

Our Christmas Food and Cheer Program involves corporates collecting small items that we can add to our baskets such as puddings, candy canes, shortbread biscuits, Christmas snacks, tinsel, Christmas tableware and decorations and gift wrapping supplies to wrap over 13,000 gifts.

There is no need to nominate targets for this program.  Simply sign up below and complete the registration form.  All donations will then be spread throughout our family and singles baskets.

Following sign up you’ll be provided with a link to our resources library that contains some useful tip sheets and template emails that you can use to launch and close your programs.
