Last Year’s Success
Despite the challenges posed by Cyclone Jasper, the 2023 Toy Dive was still a tremendous success. The Mossman Pool team managed to donate a whopping 132 presents to families in need, helping to ensure that children in the community woke up to a gift under the tree on Christmas morning.
The Mossman Pool team has seen the need firsthand and is determined to give back to the community by brightening the holidays for families in need. With the support of the Douglas Shire community, the team is confident this year’s Toy Dive will make an even bigger impact.
How You Can Help:
Every donation brings the team closer to making Christmas magical for families in need. Bring your unwrapped toy to the Mossman Community Pool, 1 Park Street, Mossman, and help fill the pool.
