🎄 Kalwun Christmas Toy Drive is NOW OPEN 🎁
 
We’re calling on you to help spread the Christmas spirit to our jarjums this year! Last year’s toy drive was a huge success, bringing smiles to the faces of so many children in care or part of Kalwun programs. Let’s do it again and make this Christmas special for families in need.

Kalwun acknowledges the various Traditional Custodians on whose land we meet, share, learn, work and live. We pay our respect to the Elders past, present and emerging and extend our respect to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people from all Nations of this land.
