Hope Shoe Box Appeal
Our shoe boxes will be collected tomorrow, Tuesday 8th November.
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. Since 2010, with your help, we have delivered over 2.1 million Shoebox gifts to Vulnerable Children across the world.
Items for your shoe box if you haven’t already filled one and would like to:
Write
Pens or pencils, crayons, paper or copy books, colouring books, markers, sharpeners and erasers.
Wash
Soap (wrapped), hairbrush, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste and facecloths.
Socks, underwear, flip flops, hat, scarf and gloves.
