Santa Shoebox Project 2021
Rejoice in giving this Christmas by wrapping up a Santa Shoebox for a child. Care Protect Invest South Africa has identified and listed the names, sex and ages of underprivileged children who need a cheer after a rough year.
“I do not know a child who is not fond of Christmas. Therefor this project is an exciting way for your kid to experience that rewarding feeling you get when you make a difference in someone else’s life,” says Dinah Bronkhorst, executive head of Care Protect Invest SA.
As always the participation process is hassle-free:
- Visit Care Protect Invest SA’s website (www.cpi-sa.org.za/santa-shoe-box-project-2021) to download the list of children.
- Send an email with your request and await confirmation.
- Head to the shops and start packing your Santa Shoebox.
- Boxes can be couriered to the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria or send with Paxi to Elarduspark’s PEP store.
- You will be notified when we will be sharing photos of the hand-out of the boxes around Christmas on our social media.
The deadline to send your box is 8 December 2021.
According to Bronkhorst the non-profit organisation does not want to prescribe what to pack this year. “Let your heart be your guide. We however ask people not buy sweets and toys that encourage violent behaviour, such as guns. Upon opening the boxes we do however want the smiles to be equally content and therefor ask you not to spend over R150,” she says.
Recommended items, depending on the age group, include: a toy, stationary, colouring or activity books, storybooks, body spray and other toiletries, clothing, socks, underwear or cookies.
