CVGT Employment ParentsNext 2023 Toy Drive

Christmas is a time for joy and giving. In the spirit of spreading happiness, we are looking for toy donations to bring some early Christmas joy to families participating in our ParentsNext program.

2022 CVGT Employment Toy Drive donations.

The call out is for the annual CVGT Employment ParentsNext 2023 Toy Drive, which will run from October 16 – December 8.

CVGT Employment is kick-starting the toy drive with a donation of $2000.

People can donate new and unwrapped toys or a locally purchased gift card at CVGT Employment sites across Victoria and Albury NSW. The toys will be delivered to children, aged between nine months and ten years, of ParentsNext families before Christmas.

The CVGT Employment Toy Drive is dedicated to supporting ParentsNext families who are facing financial challenges during tough times.

We believe that every child deserves a magical and memorable Christmas and with the help of the community, together we can help the ParentsNext families have a happy Christmas by donating a brand-new unwrapped toy or locally purchased gift card.
