Pack the Bus 2025
Pack the Bus is coming to a town near you and we need your help to pack the bus full of Christmas gifts for children and non-perishable food items to make this Christmas season wonderful for everyone in our communities.
This November, the three Wairarapa councils, alongside Tranzit Coachlines, Media Works, Property Brokers, Harvey Norman and Guthrie Bowron, will drive around the Wairarapa to pack a bus full of gifts, goodies and food items donated by the community to distribute to families in need this Christmas.
For those able to give this year, there are several convenient drop off locations for your unwrapped gifts and non-perishable food items at the following locations.
The bus will be parked on these days and times throughout South Wairarapa for Pack the Bus 2025 – thank you to all those who are able to generously give and support those in need:
