The Hits Presents the Hits Toy Run with St Vincent de Pauls Hamilton
We complete a Toy Run across Waikato towns and fill the Toy Run Bus with toys and donate to children in need this Christmas with the generous help of, Kinetic, Coupland's Bakeries, River City Signs , Forlongs Furnishings, Lugtons Real Estate and NZME.
The Hits Toy Run bus is on the move around the Waikato, collecting donations of your new or old toys and gift them forward to child in need this festive season!
Keep an eye out on The Hits Waikato Facebook Page for updates on the schedule!
Note: We will not be taking soft toys, due to the nature of cleaning of the soft toys.
