Community Packing Day
Community Packing Day
This year, our amazing volunteers across 15 cities and towns in New Zealand — including the Cook Islands & Fiji — will come together to pack a total of 37,000 Christmas Boxes. Each box brings hope and essential food to thousands of families, especially at a time when budgets are stretched the most.
Packing Day is a fun, high-energy event, and a fantastic way to support those in need across our communities. Many of our volunteers come back year after year because of the rewarding experience it offers.

Packdown: 11.30am - 3.00pm. This year, we're giving volunteers the option to help with pack down. This will be a separate registration. You'll start with lunch and finish by 3:00 PM. Your extra hands make a huge difference in tidying up and fully packing down the warehouse.
Check back in at the end of October for registrations!

Packdown: We’d really appreciate it if some volunteers could stay a bit longer after packing to help with packdown until about 2:00 PM. Your extra hands make a huge difference in tidying up and fully packing down the warehouse.
