Local charity Our Village (formerly Geelong Mums) takes donations of many baby and nursery items to give to other families in need.

Volunteers collect donations of cots, prams, car seats, clothes and other baby items. They then work with local social service agencies and Maternal Health Nurses, who request items for local families who are facing a variety of challenges.
