The Hits Toy Run 2025
It's Back... The Hits Toy Run 2025
It's all about giving this festive season, we want to spread the love across the mighty Waikato region!
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.
MASSIVE thank you to our generous sponsors for making Toy Run 2025 possible!
St Vincent de Paul is committed to honouring the Waikato people by steadfastly upholding the principles of the Kiingitanga. With a deep sense of respect and solidarity, we acknowledge the rich culture, lands, waters, and histories of the Waikato people, affirming their rights to live in a society free from economic, social, and cultural oppression. Recognising the importance of the principles of Whakaiti (Humility), Whakapono (Trust & Faith), Aroha (Love & Respect) , Rangimaarie (Peace & Calm), Manaakitanga (Caring), Kotahitanga (Unity), and Mahi Tahi (Collaboration), we strive to integrate these values into our every day practise.
