Help Bring the Toy Library Back
The Carterton Community Toy Library belongs to our community, and we're rebuilding it together.
Our volunteer committee is working hard to reopen the library, but we can't do it alone. Whether you can give your time, make a donation, or support one of our fundraising initiatives, every contribution helps us get one step closer to opening our doors.
Every contribution makes a difference
Your support helps us:
-
Make quality toys and learning resources affordable for every family.
-
Reduce waste by giving toys a longer life through sharing.
-
Create opportunities for children to learn, grow and play.
-
Build a stronger, more connected community for generations to come.
Together, we're creating a Toy Library that will serve Carterton and the wider Wairarapa for many years to come.
Ready to get involved? We'd love to hear from you. Whether you'd like to donate, volunteer, become a member or partner with us, please get in touch—we'd love to have you as part of the Carterton Community Toy Library story.
