Yarra Valley motorcyclists can join the Toy Run For Father Bob on Sunday 2 December.
Riders will depart from the Degani Cafe near Coles in Healesville at 9.15am and head for the toy run venue at 1-11 Wharf Road, Port Melbourne.
The event there will run from 11am to 2pm.
The Toy Run For Father Bob provides donations of toys, food, blankets and cash to the Father Bob Maguire Foundation.
The Father Bob Maguire Foundation feeds and supports homeless people in Melbourne and provides school scholarships for children whose families are facing financial hardship.
Christmas time can be especially hard for children whose folks are doing it tough.
“Donations of new toys (no fluffy toys), new clothes, toiletries and towels, clean pre-owned blankets and non-perishable food including tins with ring-pulls and long life milk are all urgently needed,” Yarra Valley ride leader Ross ‘Hobbit’ McClure said.
“Cash is also needed for school scholarships.
“Motorcyclists and families can make their own way to Port Melbourne or they can join groups riding into the toy run venue.”

There’ll be prizes awarded for the best decorated motorcycle, sidecar, scooter and trike, and to the best dressed male and female riders.
Band Damaged Goods Ltd will perform live and there’ll be motorcycle merchandise giveaways, food and merchandise stalls.
