🎁❤️ CASTLE COFFEE SHOEBOX APPEAL YEAR 4! ❤️🎁
For the 4th year running, we’re delighted to be collecting shoeboxes to bring a little joy, love and hope to children in need across the world this Christmas. 🌍🎄
This year, we’re proud to be supporting Team Hope Tyrone , alongside our wonderful local volunteers, to help make a difference to children who need it most.
We also want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to Patsy Lynch for his time, dedication and commitment to the shoebox appeal over the past three years. Your efforts have helped bring smiles to so many children, over 1300.
🎁 HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
Grab a leaflet at the hatch with all the details. We won’t have pre wrapped shoeboxes available this year, but you’ll have no problem finding a shoebox locally and wrapping it yourself.
Fill your box with:
🧸 Fun toys and games
🪥 Hygiene items
✏️ School supplies
🎀 And, if you can, one or two special items you know a child would love, such as a cuddly toy or a doll.
📦 Collection will take place during the first week of November, so there’s still time to get involved.
💝 CAN’T FILL A WHOLE SHOEBOX? YOU CAN STILL HELP!
Team Hope has set up a fillers box in Corry’s Chemist, where you can purchase small items such as facecloths, toothbrushes and other essentials. These will be used by the team to help fill shoeboxes for children who otherwise might go without.
As we begin thinking about Christmas, our hearts are with the children living in war torn countries and difficult circumstances, many will face another Christmas without the joy, security and happiness every child deserves. 💔
