Do you want to make a difference in the lives of another family this Christmas?
Foothills Community Care invites you to partner with us by hosting your very own Reverse Advent Calendar.
What is a Reverse Advent Calendar?
Unlike a regular Advent Calendar where the focus is on receiving a treat every day, the Reverse Advent Calendar takes the focus off receiving and places the focus on giving. A Reverse Advent Calendar begins as an empty box or bag. For 25 days during November, you place one item into the box each day (non-perishable food, toiletries, Christmas treat). See our suggested list below.
At the end November, your filled Reverse Advent Calendar is donated to Foothills and then distributed by us to people in our Dandenong Ranges and Knox community who are in need of some special love and an extra hand up this Christmas time.
Our Reverse Advent Calendar can be done by individuals at home, families, or in the workplace.
For more inspiration, please see the calendar below, or to have a copy of your own to work from Download our Calendar here.
Why not invite your friends to be part of this as well, as we care for others this Christmas
