June 2024 has been another joyful and impactful month for Joy of Giving. Our dedicated efforts to save hundreds of kilos of toys from landfill and bring smiles to children's faces continued with great success. As part of our commitment to supporting communities and promoting sustainability, we participated in various events and celebrated Refugee Week with special deliveries and activities.
Supporting Refugee Week
In June, we proudly supported the Refugee Week 2024 - Finding Freedom: Family, an event dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by refugees and celebrating their contributions to our society. We partnered with our local partner Metro Assist to deliver toys and essential items to families in need, making their transition into a new life in Australia a little bit easier and a lot more joyful.
Saving Toys, Saving the Planet
Our mission to prevent toys from ending up in landfill continues to drive our actions. This month alone, we saved hundreds of kilos of toys, giving them a new lease of life and bringing happiness to countless children. By promoting the reuse of toys, we are not only reducing waste but also teaching valuable lessons about sustainability to the next generation.
Engaging the Community
Engagement with the community is at the heart of what we do. Throughout June, we organised and participated in various events and workshops aimed at fostering a spirit of giving and sustainability. Our Preloved Toy Workshops were a hit, educating participants about the importance of reuse and the environmental impact of toys. These workshops provided hands-on learning experiences for children and adults alike, reinforcing the message that small actions can make a big difference.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, we remain committed to our mission of saving toys from landfill and bringing joy to children and families. Our plans include expanding our workshops to more schools and community organisations, continuing our partnerships with local groups, and finding new ways to support disadvantaged families.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community, partners, and contributors by passing on preloved toys. Together, we are making a positive impact on the environment and the lives of many families. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in our journey to create a more sustainable and joyful world.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of Joy of Giving. Let’s keep spreading joy and sustainability, one toy at a time.
