Christmas Toy Drive with the Salvation Army 2021
Berowra APEX is teaming up with The Salvation Army Hornsby again to help support those in our community that need a little help this Christmas.
Last year the generosity of this amazing community saw the toy drive contribute 20% of the gifts that the Salvation Army Hornsby were able to distribute to families in need. APEX added to this by putting together 35 Food hampers and over 100 movie voucher packs for the Odeon Cinema in Hornsby.
Over the next 7 weeks, we’re going to have several donation stations set up for any new, unwrapped toys that you can spare. They can be for any age group, but they must be new for the Salvo’s COVID requirements.
On top of our locations, we’ll be accepting donations at our Christmas Tree Sales locations, and our final date to drop them off so that the Salvation Army can get them under trees is the 10th of December.
We greatly appreciate any support and look forward to seeing everyone through the lead up to Christmas as we keep emerging from the current restrictions.

Christmas Tree Sales 2021
We’re back! Apex will be selling Christmas trees again this year at Crossroads Reserve, Berowra Heights (behind Bambinos, near the dog park). Trees will be on sale from 3pm till late on Friday 3rd December and from 8am until sold out on Saturday 4th December. All proceeds go towards supporting the work Apex does in the community.
Stocks are limited and likely to sell fast this year, so get in early for the best selection! Contactless payments available.
We will also be accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army to distribute to families in need this Christmas. We greatly appreciate your support.
