Rotary club?

Does it have to be a shoebox? There's a charity which asks you to fill a child's backpack with things for a child and they then take them to child refugees arriving in Europe.

Or MN very own Woolly Hugs often do similar appeals and collect supporting items to be sent along with blankets. Although they also appreciate cash donations to buy wool and pay the incredible postage costs.

There's sometimes a shoebox appeal for women and kids going into refuges - toiletries etc. I haven't seen anything yet this year, but I thnk it's normally a bit later.

Following: id love to start doing something like this with our DS. I'm going to look into local appeals as well as shoebox.
I've looked into women's refuge donations before but struggled to find much information.

As well as the shoebox for refuges, which tends to be a bit ad hoc, refuge often have a gift list with John Lewis where you pick a specific present for a child. They'll be info around nearer the time

Our local homeless charity does a 'shoebox' for Christmas - may be worth asking any local charities to you.

I do the refuge shoebox collections. It varies from region to region but generally if you put project shoebox and your city/region into search on facebook your local page should come up. I am Reading/west berks if you are near me! Grin

Also some hospitals, care homes do giving trees where you can pick age and sex and buy a present.
