Donate Toys To Support Veteran Families

September 18, 2025

Locals are being encouraged to give their pre-loved or new toys a second life by donating them to support veteran families in need.

The initiative, run through the Wounded Heroes Veterans Centre in Hyde Park, aims to bring joy to children while lending a helping hand to families who have served our country.

Wounded Heroes Australia was established in 2007 to provide immediate financial support to veterans & their families. Now they have established a Veteran Centre in Townsville with an OPSHOP & Cafe.

Organisers are calling on the community to rummage through cupboards, toy boxes, and sheds for items that can be donated.

“Every toy brings a smile, and every donation makes a difference,” they said.

Donations can be dropped off at the Wounded Heroes Veterans Centre, 20/36–48 Kings Road, Hyde Park (rear entrance).

By passing on toys that are no longer needed, locals can help brighten a child’s day and support the well-being of veteran families.
