BECOME A REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR DONOR
Reverse Advent Calendar is an initiative that empowers members of the community to come together to collect non-perishable food, toiletries and Christmas treats to be donated to people within our own community who are living with food insecurity.
A Reverse Advent Calendar flips the idea of a traditional Advent calendar. Instead of opening a window each day in the lead up to Christmas and getting a small chocolate, a Reverse Advent Calendar takes the focus off receiving and encourages participants to focus on giving instead.
For 20 days in the lead up to Christmas, families, individuals, community groups, schools and businesses place one item of non-perishable food or toiletries into their box each day. When the box is full it is then donated to the Woodend Neighbourhood House to be distributed to people struggling with food insecurity.
🎄Register your Interest to become a Reverse Advent Calendar Donor via our website (see link below)
🎄Collect your box and a copy of the Information Sheet from the Woodend Neighbourhood House at 47 Forest Street, Woodend (Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm). Boxes are available to pick up from Wednesday 5th November.
🎄Fill your box with food, toiletries and Christmas treats – one item every day for 20 days.
🎄 Return your filled box to the Woodend Neighbourhood House by Tuesday 16 December 2025 and it will be given to people in need this Christmas time.
