Have you ever filled a Christmas Shoebox? Team Hope has put out its annual appeal for families, school kids and communities to help them deliver gift-filled shoeboxes to needy kids in poorer parts of the world. Read on to find out how you can support the Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2021.

Team Hope Shoebox Appeal 2021

The theme for this year’s Appeal is #MakeAChildSmile and aims to encourage people to think about the single impact, joy and smile that a shoebox brings to the child who receives it.

How to Build a Christmas Shoebox

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2021

It has never been easier to build a shoebox. All you have to do is find an empty shoebox, wrap it in Christmas paper and fill it with gifts for a boy or girl aged between 2 and 14, give online or attach a €4 donation and bring it to a local drop off point before the deadline of Monday, November 8th – or you can build-a-box online by donating at www.teamhope.ie.

What to Put into Your Christmas Shoebox

When considering items that are best to gift, think of the 4W’s:

  • Wear – Gloves, Hat, Scarf, Socks, Top, Underwear
  • Wash – Comb, Soap, Sponge, Toothbrush & Toothpaste, Washcloth
  • Write – Colouring Pencils, Notepad, Writing accessories
  • Wow – Fun Trinkets, Musical Toys, Puzzles, Soft toy, Ball, fun Sunglasses
