About Joy of GivingJoy of Giving is a registered Australian charity founded in 2019 by a couple who migrated from Hong Kong with a passion for community and sustainability. Their mission is to create a more sustainable and compassionate world for children, starting with toys. By redistributing quality toys through swaps, workshops, and community events, we reduce waste while teaching children the value of giving, sharing, and reusing.
