Christmas Toy Drive

Toys are distributed to local families experiencing hardship through our network of partner social agencies across the region.

Our dedicated Toy Drive volunteers carefully prepare gift bags filled with age-appropriate toys, helping bring Christmas joy to children who need it most.

No, please donate toys new, unwrapped and in their original packaging. This helps our volunteers sort donations, select age-appropriate gifts and prepare Christmas gift bags for children.

Looking for ideas? Check out our suggested Toy Drive Gift Ideas below! Please ensure all toys are new and unwrapped. We ask that you avoid toy guns, weapons, sharp toys and device operated games.

Absolutely! Financial donations help us purchase toys for children in need this Christmas.

You can donate $25 to purchase a toy or $70 for a gift bag full of toys via our Online Donation Page. You can also choose a custom donation amount. 

Every contribution helps bring a child joy this Christmas!

You can deliver toys to Sunshine Bendigo directly or at one of our participating Community Collection Sites listed below, prior to Tuesday 1 December 2026.
