Hobsons Bay Christmas Drive

2025 Christmas Drive

Each year, not-for-profit organisations across Hobsons Bay help hundreds of individuals and families in need across our community. This year, more people are needing a helping hand than ever before.

We are asking our community to come together and participate in the 2025 Hobsons Bay Christmas Drive. From 20 October to 12 December, donate a selection of goods to help bring a little cheer to local families this festive season.

Suggestions include long-life milk, tinned goods, pasta sauce, mixed nuts, juice, cordial, soft drink, custard powder, crackers, toys, instant rice, soup, noodles, spreads, popcorn, chips, pretzels, chocolate, cake mix, lollies, tea or coffee.

We encourage you to donate as many (or as few) items as you can. Donations can be taken to the below collection points at any time throughout October, November and December 2025.
