About the Event
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.
