Tickets
It's one of Wellington's favourite Christmas traditions, and The Breeze Pack the Bus is returning for its 33rd year!
From Monday 23rd to Friday 27th November, the Breeze team will be hitting the streets and visiting schools across the Wellington region, collecting Christmas gifts, toys and food donations for the Wellington City Mission.
Our goal? To pack the bus FULL of Christmas cheer and help make the festive season a little brighter for families who need it most.
How can you help Pack the Bus?
The Wellington City Mission would love donations of new toys, clothing and sports gear for children of all ages, from infants through to teenagers.
Non-perishable food items are also hugely appreciated, so if you're heading to the supermarket, why not grab a few extra items to donate?
Even if your school isn't on our collection schedule, there are still ways you can get involved!
Here's where you can donate:
Pak n Save Petone: Join us at our only public collection point on Thursday 26th November from Midday - 12:30 pm
Wellington City Mission: Drop off donations at Whakamaru, 4–8 Oxford Terrace, Mount Cook.
Every donation makes a difference, so let's come together, spread some Christmas cheer and make Pack the Bus 2026 our biggest year yet!
A huge thank you to our partners who make The Breeze Pack the Bus possible:
