BABY GIVE BACK DONATION DRIVE

JCU Psychology Association is proud to be supporting Baby Give Back and local families doing it tough across Queensland!

📅 From tomorrow, 17 August at 12 PM until 18 September
📍 JCU Townsville Campus: Student Centre, Education Building 134

We’ll have a Baby Give Back donation box ready for any clean, good-quality baby and children’s items you’re able to spare!

We’re collecting:
👕 Clothing
🧷 Nappies & wipes
🧸 Toys
✨ Other baby essentials

Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference to a family who needs it.

So have a little look through those cupboards, wardrobes and toy boxes and bring along anything that could find a new home!

A massive thank you to everyone who donates and helps us support local families!
