This year Teams4U aim to distribute 50,000
shoeboxes to try to make Christmas a little more special for those who have so little.
"Women have turned up at refuges without shoes before now." Refuges seemed the ideal place to offer the
shoeboxes, and it soon became clear that the women staying there were incredibly grateful to receive then and not just because they were a nice gift to have.
CLAUS FOR CELEBRATION Little girl opens her
shoeboxPupils in all-year groups showed their generosity by donating essentials which were packed into the
shoeboxes before being dispersed to children who are suffering due to political, social and economic issues in their own countries.
Donors are asked to fill
shoeboxes with gifts such as toys, hygiene items, school supplies and sweets (but not chocolate), as well as providing PS3 to cover the cost of shipping.
Highfield Funeral Service on Trinity Street, Huddersfield, is asking businesses, community groups and residents to donate
shoeboxes filled with any of these items to be given to families who may be facing difficulties this Christmas.

shoeboxes if necessary," Salahi said.

shoebox yourself don't forget to wrap the box and it's lid separately so that the volunteers can double check the contents.
Project
Shoebox was started three years ago by the sorority, in partnership with the Philippine Army, in Camp Nakar in Lucena City.
The team are hoping that Daily Post readers will pack a gift-filled
shoebox for them this Christmas.
That's a question which Ged Finnegan, co-owner of Penarth's newest independent shoe shop, My
ShoeBox, has often asked himself over the past year.
