Team Hope Christmas Shoebox collection point in The Marshes

-

Team Hope distribute Christmas Shoebox gifts to some of the world’s most vulnerable children – many of whom will receive no other gift this Christmas. For some it’s the first gift they’ve ever received.

Fill a shoebox with a range of simple Christmas gifts (check out www.teamhope.ie for their gift list) drop it off at the Marshes Shopping Centre drop off point (opposite River Café) before the closing date of November 9.

The Team Hope volunteers all across Ireland work hard to check that every Christmas Shoebox gift meets with customs and safety requiremen­ts, they seal them and send them on their way by truck or shipping container.

Then their internatio­nal partners will deliver the Shoebox Gift right into a child’s hands – in hospitals, schools, shelters, churches, orphanages, community centres, mountain villages and family homes.
