Christmas boxes

Every child deserves to feel special at Christmas.

Just Us 4 Children have planned to join Greyville Place of Restoration with their Christmas Box Project. A shoe box may not change the world BUT to many children it will make the world of difference. This project gives the more privileged the opportunity to fill an ordinary shoe box with supplies for the less privileged children. The gifts are given to children regardless of their nationality or religious beliefs. They are given just because it’s Christmas.

How to pack your shoe box gift

Find an empty, medium-sized shoe box.
Cover the box in Christmas paper, making sure you wrap the lid of the box separately.
The contents will be for a young boy or girl. Unisex please.
Please fill the shoe box with any of the items below.
Please do not wrap the items individually.
