GIVE A TOY AND SHARE THE JOY!

Christmas Toy Drive 2025

Join us for our annual Christmas Toy Drive proudly supported by WIN Television.

This year, many families in our community are still facing difficult times — but together, we can make the season brighter for young children who need it most. For some little ones, the gift bags we give might be the only ones they receive this Christmas.

We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys for children aged newborn to 6 years throughout November. Donations will be packed into gift bags and delivered to families through our partner social agencies in early December, so please drop off your items to Sunshine Bendigo directly or one of our Community Collection Sites by Thursday 27th November to help Santa stay on schedule!

Let’s make sure every child wakes up to a little Christmas magic!

TOY DRIVE DETAILS:

Who receives the toys?

All toys will be distributed via our social agency network to the many vulnerable families, experiencing challenging times, across our region.

Do I wrap the toys?

No, donated toys need to be new, in original packaging and unwrapped. This helps us with distribution.

Where do I deliver to?

You can deliver toys to Sunshine Bendigo directly or alternatively at one of our Community Collection Sites listed below, prior to Thursday 27th November 2025.
