PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:
  • Please fill out one form per immediate family so that we can accurately count numbers. Maximum 2 adults per family on a form(18+). We need to do this for public indemnity purposes. 
  • We cannot have 1 indemnity cover a group of friends under 1 persons name. If you register more than 2 adults in your group, we won't be able to count your registration. Please do this correctly. 
  • If you are registering with friends, please ensure you all register separately.
  • Consider if friends are delivery driving together, only 1 to register as a delivery driver.

ABOUT THE WEEKEND
  • Our Packing Weekend is held over 2 separate days. This form will only register you for the above mentioned date.
  • We will be at Caulfield Grammar School, St Kilda East in the Lindsay Thompson Sports & Rec Centre, which can be found off McWhae Avenue, St Kilda East. Enter via car park.

  • Sunday is our 'Food & Delivery Day' where we will have volunteers pack hundreds of food hampers and then deliver to homes or recipients or organisations (if you are nominating to be a delivery driver).
  • The whole weekend is family friendly - kids of all ages welcome.
  • If you are not sure on your numbers/who's coming from your family yet, please wait to complete this form till you do. 
  • Numbers will be capped - registration will close once we are full.

ARRIVAL
  • You can register to pack food only, or pack food AND be a delivery driver.
  • 9am Delivery Drivers arrive to register and confirm their deliveries.
  • 10am all others arrive if you are food packing only.

DELIVERY DRIVING
  • Selecting to become a delivery driver means you will be driving hampers to either; a family nominated to receive a hamper OR an organisation who is receiving the hamper on behalf of a family.
  • Delivery Drivers MUST come at 9am. We are trying our best to iron out logistics issues earlier in the day to have a smooth packing process. We cannot make exceptions for different arrival times. 

ABOUT THE DAY
  • Wear comfortable shoes and bring a drink bottle.
  • There will be a BBQ sausage sizzle running on the day with a vegetarian option.
  • A coffee van will be on site for most of the day
  • Fun Christmas dress-up attire encouraged!
  • The nut-bush could come on at anytime for maximum dancing - why can't we have maximum fun whilst we do great things for our community?

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
  • This registration form includes you to pack food on this day with us, below you will be asked if you are also going to be a delivery driver.
  • If you are delivery driving and can bring your own trolley to transport hampers to your car - we highly recommend bringing your own to take hampers to your car.

  • This page is setup as a ticketed event; whilst it says 'purchase' at the bottom, there is no payment required unless you opt to make a donation.

Melbourne Basket Brigade is solely run by volunteers who do it because we love it. Sometimes participants get frustrated with us that this day isn't totally seamless. We are always striving to be better, but hey organising 2000 hampers can be wild! We encourage open hearts, open minds and being open to all coming together to make a difference in the lives of others this Christmas.

WE LOVE TO HAVE FUN!
Thank you for your support of another fantastic year for Melbourne Basket Brigade. 

Registration has now closed as we are at capacity. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep across our activities for next year!
