SHOEBOXES
Yes, I know we're only in May, but after rushing around collecting all the items to put together a few shoeboxes last November. This year we have decided to spread our collecting out over the year. There is so much poverty and conflict around our world, and it's often the children that suffer the most. Could you help us with our mission?
When you're shopping and you pick up that extra item to donate to the Foodbank (for those in need nearer home) could you sometimes pick up a toothbrush/soap/flannel, a couple of pens/pencils or maybe a small toy to add to our collection? We would be so grateful, and for anyone that could go a step further, we are invited to donate £5 for each shoebox to cover processing and transportation costs.
Just donating these small items over the year, when put together in the shoeboxes in November will make such a difference and bring joy to as many children as possible.
