How to Pack a Shoebox

Find an empty medium sized shoebox and wrap box and lid separately.

Download and print the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category and attach the label to the outside of your shoebox.

Fill your shoebox with a variety of new gifts that will bring delight to a child, make your £5-per-shoebox project donation online or via post, and take your shoebox to a Drop-off Location near you. You can also pray for the child who will receive your shoebox gift.
