Thomastown-based Turbans 4 Australia is running its Christmas toy drive again this year, urging people to donate what they can before December 6.
Turbans 4 Australia founder Amar Singh said the toy drive will be delivered to the regional Grampians community to help out with cost of living pressures.
“Kids don’t care about [the cost of living], they just want toys for Christmas,” Mr Singh said.
“As Sikhs, we don’t celebrate Christmas but we know many others do, so we want to support them.
“It is the best feeling when you see kids’ eyes light up.”
Turbans 4 Australia has formed a partnership with Zaparas Lawyers, who donated $30,000 to the cause.
Paul Zaparas said partnering with Turbans 4 Australia has been a great opportunity to give back to the community.
“As a personal injury firm… we are keenly attuned to working class issues,” Mr Zaparas said.
“Turbans 4 Australia is one of the significant driving forces contributing to that community… it’s an amazing cause.
Mr Singh said the law firm’s contribution, and volunteer work will go a long way.
“There are always more families in need,” Mr Singh said.
Mr Singh started Turbans 4 Australia to inspire the next generation.
“We are all Australians… who have to roll up our sleeves and help out when times get tough,” he said.
Donations to the toy drive will be accepted at the Zaparas Lawyers offices , Epping and Werribee until December 6.
