Annual Toy Run

The Annual Pakenham Toy Run is a community-driven event proudly supported by Cardinia Men’s Shed to help local families in need during the festive season. In partnership with the Salvation Army, donated toys and food are collected and distributed to hundreds of families across Cardinia each year.

Supporting Local Families

At the heart of the Toy Run is a mission to bring hope and happiness to those who need it most. Each year, the Men’s Shed helps gather generous donations of new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food, which are then distributed by the Salvation Army to families across the Cardinia Shire.

It’s a powerful example of community coming together to support one another.

More Than Just a Ride

While the Toy Run centres around motorcycles, the event is about much more than bikes. With decorated rides, prizes, a BBQ, and strong local support, the day brings together riders, residents, and volunteers to celebrate community and generosity.

It’s a fun, festive, and meaningful way to give back — and make a real difference in people’s lives during the holiday season.
