Santa’s Shoebox

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

It seems early to start planning for Christmas but these kids have no Christmas unless you do start planning now with them in mind. Please have a look at doing just one box and sending this website on to all your friends so the elves at Santa’s Shoebox can start their awesome work for Christmas 2011.

70,000 boxes is their target for this year so they need your help – just close your eyes and picture the smiles on the faces of 70,000 children who otherwise would not have anything on Christmas day if not for your help and you’re sure to get the warm and fuzzies long enough to go online and kick off the process. Your one box and your help getting exposure for this magical cause makes a huge difference in the lives of so many.

It’s an easy to use website where you register and pledge your box. It has all the details you need about packing the box and there are plenty of drop-off points … there’s bound to be one in your area. If it’s still too much of a lus, you can always make a monetary donation and they’ll make up a box for you.

Enjoy the process and the good vibes. Merry Christmas.

 

 

 

 

Christmas is coming …

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

You probably think Christmas is a long way off but just a quick browse through any supermarket will prove that it’s time to get prepared. There is a fabulous initiative in South Africa and I’d love you to have a look at their web link below and get involved with filling and decorating a shoebox as a Christmas gift for a disadvantaged child. This not only shares the joy with someone who has little or nothing but it also teaches your child a very important lesson about the true spirit of Christmas. The deadline is quite soon so have a look and see how you can help.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We have 2 – 3 weeks to go and a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has requested their names off the website and are in the process of preparing their Santa Shoeboxes for drop off! Thank you also for your patience with the few challenges we have had fine tuning the new system.

We are up to 5200 boxes, but still need to go another 7000!! to reach the target of 12 000 Santa Shoeboxes, which relates to 12 000 overjoyed children! Could we please appeal to all our loyal donors to spread the word further and encourage family, friends and colleagues to teach their children and everyone around them, the Joy Of Giving!

This is how we can do it. If everyone of you just gets 3 more people to each make a box – we have made it! As easy as that!

We invite you now to forward www.santashoebox.co.za to many more friends and colleagues and together we make sure not one child out of the 12 000 goes without a Santa Shoebox in 2009!
Kind regards
