Donate Baby Essentials to Support Local Families

Your preloved baby items can make an immediate difference to a Fraser Coast family. Give what you can. Take what you need. No judgement. No cost. No questions asked.

The Birth & Baby Community Cupboard runs entirely on the generosity of local families. If you have size 00000-2 items your little one has outgrown, we’d love to receive them.

 

Donating is simple.

1. Choose a Drop‑Off Point

You can donate at any of our collection points. All points have a donation tub ready for you, they can direct you to it if you let them know you’re there to donate.
