Reverse Advent Calendar

Each year the team at Heinz Law chooses a local charity to assist those in need at Christmas time.

For 2020 we chose the Reverse Advent team. 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 to others. A Reverse Advent Calendar begins as an empty box. For 20 days in the lead up to Christmas, you place one item (non-perishable food and toiletries) into the box. After 20 days your filled Reverse Advent Calendar is returned, where it is distributed by food relief agencies to people in our immediate community who are experiencing food insecurity.

In total, we collected 15 boxes full of goodies. We plan to do the same for next year but hope to at least double the number of boxes.
