Instead of hosting a typical Christmas party, members of Australia's packaging, processing machinery and supply chain and logistics associations will spend a day packing over 1000 hampers for Foodbank to distribute to those in need.
Over the last five years, representatives from the AIP, the APPMA, the SCLAA and the QSCLC have packed 4300 hampers for the food relief organisation to the value of close to $541,000.
The industry is now looking for more volunteers to help with the project on 9 December in Brisbane.
"It's about having fun and knowing you've made a difference," a spokesperson for the AIP said.
Foodbank donates the hampers to people without employment; families with young children; and those living on the poverty line.
The project is a culmination of 12 months' work, with all items inside the hampers either funded or donated with generous support from many companies across the country.
If you're unable to attend but wish to donate items, email info@aipack.com.au.
