Toys and tucker is an Australian event where people bring presents for less fortunate people than we are to help out during tough times.
The whole idea of toys and tucker is to drive the kids into a more happy mindset. The people running toys and tucker pack and send out 4000-5000 toy and food hampers for the people who would appreciate it more than we would.
These hampers are sent out to Sydney, the Illawarra, Wollongong, Shoalhaven, Blue Mountains & Northern Inland regions. This year the theme is “Teenage Toys”, looking out for teenagers growing up with not too much of a “perfect life”. Each complete toy hamper is required to have a large gift, a smaller gift, stocking filler items, a book, and a craft activity.
Toys and tucker is only functional when we get involved to help donate. So please, even if it is just 1 small item, send it through to make a teenager's day.
