About the Charity We’re Supporting

Baskets of Blessing is a volunteer-powered Queenstown charity that provides personalised gift baskets, nutritious frozen meals and food packs to locals experiencing illness, loss, financial hardship or other unexpected challenges.

All funds raised on the day will go directly towards helping Baskets of Blessing continue its incredible work throughout our community.
