Baskets of Blessing

Queenstown’s Baskets of Blessing Charitable Trust and volunteer organisation provides a platform coordinating generous donations of products, time and money to deliver unexpected gift baskets and frozen meal/food packs to locals struggling from unexpected life predicaments. Increasingly, local individuals and families are facing incredible challenges, typically without family or support networks. Those impacted range across all ages, socioeconomic groups and cultures. Severe illness or injury, financial or mental distress, separations and solo parenting all take their toll. Baskets of Blessing create customised gift baskets to reinforce people do care and to offer positive uplifting moments. Baskets of Blessing Meals receive surplus food from supermarkets that previously would have been discarded. Volunteer teams regularly meet to collate, cook and distribute frozen meal packs. All recipients are nominated anonymously via our website (see above) and actioned without judgement.
