Join Volunteering Waikato’s Annual Christmas Gift Wrapping Fundraiser
This December, your team can help bring the Christmas spirit to shoppers at The Base and Centre Place by wrapping presents to raise funds—a fun, hands-on way for your team to enable Volunteering Waikato in their mahi to support not-for-profit organisations across the Waikato.

Why We Fundraise
This fundraiser helps cover Volunteering Waikato’s operating costs. As a non-profit, we connect community groups and organisations with the volunteers they need to thrive. By taking part in gift wrapping, your team isn’t just supporting Volunteering Waikato, it’s also helping local organisations of all sizes and the many people who rely on their support across the Waikato.

What Volunteers Do
Work in pairs at our wrapping booths, you'll be adding that special touch to shoppers’ gifts and spreading Christmas cheer along the way.
Wrap presents neatly, chat with shoppers and enjoy some laughter and teamwork along the way. It’s a fun, hands-on way to support a fundraiser making a difference in our Waikato community.

Why Volunteer as a Team?
You get to be part of a fun, festive team, meet other volunteers, enjoy the Christmas spirit, learn or improve your gift-wrapping skills, and celebrate the spirit of volunteering in our community.

If your team would like to take part, we’d love to hear from you!
