Bring hope this Christmas

Shoe Box Appeal

Thank you so much for your continued support for our Shoe Box Appeal. Your unwavering support has enabled us to send over 85,000 shoeboxes to eight different countries – Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. From those we deliver these gifts to, thank you so very much.

Since our first Shoe Box Appeal in 1993 we have sent more than 2.7 million boxes – each one different, each one personal, each one an expression of your care and kindness towards a stranger in need.

Filled with small, practical items such as toiletries, stationery, and clothing, the individually-wrapped boxes have been distributed in schools, hospitals, orphanages and care homes, and to households in very low income communities. Many have gone to people affected by the war in Ukraine.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
