My church is NOT participating this year
You can still participate by picking up a shoebox at a designated pick up location and dropping it off yourself at the Collection Centre during Collection week.
I have concerns about going out shopping
You can fill a shoebox online from the safety of your home (see complete details and link below) OR you can ask someone to pick up your contents for you – stay safe!
Should I put the same items as always in my shoebox due to COVID-19?
Yes shoebox content suggestions remain the same but COVID-19 is a reality around the world and many of our destinations do not have the resources we do. Feel free to place a mask and extra soap in your box. REMEMBER – no liquids so please do not put hand sanitizer in your shoebox!
I am having financial trouble due to COVID-19 but still want to do a box
We understand these are unique times. If you are having financial hardship due to the pandemic but still want to do a box – consider finding a partner or two and remember to shop at the Dollar Tree to save on costs!
