Give For Your Staff to Build

Fun For Your Staff, Joy For The Children

Are you looking for a fun, purposeful charity project for your business for this Christmas season? 

Your company can make a single donation for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, and then your colleagues can enjoy choosing special gifts online that Samaritan’s Purse will buy, pack and then send in shoeboxes to children in need around the world.

A £25 donation will cover one shoebox, this includes £5 to cover the shipping and fulfilment to get your shoebox into the hands of a child overseas—bringing joy, and hope as they realise they are loved and not forgotten. The rest of the donation allows us to purchase high quality gifts that the children will love.

 

Simple to Give for your Staff to Build

  • Decide how many shoeboxes you would like to donate, or divide your overall donation by £25 to figure that out.

     

  • Make your donation here, and then you will receive a unique link for you to pass on to your colleagues. The link will be good for the number of shoeboxes you have donated and then stop working.

     

  • Your staff use the link to build a shoebox online, choosing the age and gender of the child (2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 and Boy or Girl). Next, they add the personal care and school supplies kits and then get to choose from a selection of large and smaller toys and accessories. Finally, they can personalise their gift by writing a note and uploading a photo if they wish.

 

The world’s most popular children’s shoebox project since 1990

For more than three decades, workplaces in the UK, together with community groups, churches, families and individuals have joined together to generously send more than 23 million shoebox gifts to children living in challenging situations of poverty, war, food insecurity or disaster. 

Your traditional shoebox gifts are still very welcome. To guide your staff to pack shoeboxes, click here. Or to host a fun packing party at work, see here. Shoebox Online is an additional or alternative option for our digitally-oriented times.

Thank you for considering this wonderful opportunity to celebrate another year in the life of your company by donating shoeboxes for your staff to build online. We ask our donors to complete their shoebox gift selections by 31 December at the latest so we can ensure your shoeboxes are sent as part of this year’s campaign. If given earlier many of our shoeboxes can reach the children by Christmas.
