DONATE A TOY AND BRING A CHILD JOY!

We've partnered with Red Energy Arena to help make Christmas a little brighter for local children in need.

Every year our Christmas Toy Drive continues to grow and so does the demand for support. As more local families experience financial hardship, we’re seeing an increasing number of children who need a little extra help to experience the magic of Christmas.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we supported more than 690 local children with Christmas gift bags.

For some children, the gift they receive through our Toy Drive may be the only present they receive this Christmas. Your generosity can help make sure every child has something special to unwrap and a reason to smile on Christmas morning.

Throughout November 2026, we’re collecting new, unwrapped toys suitable for children from newborn to 6 years old. Toys can be delivered to Sunshine Bendigo, Red Energy Arena or one of our Community Collection Sites, listed below.

All donated toys will be lovingly packed into Christmas gift bags by our volunteers and distributed to local families through our social agency network in early December.
