How It Works

  1. We liaise with schools and organisations who provide us with lists of children.
  2. We have a registration process where amazing donators can sign up and are allocated a child off the lists to shop for. At a minimum we provide the donators with the age and gender of the child/ren. Where possible, we try to get the schools and organisations to provide some interests of each child to make shopping more fun.
  3. The donators will then shop for their allocated child/ren. The gifts they purchase need to be able to fit in a shoebox. Donators will wrap the shoebox and drop it back to one of our drop off locations.
  4. We collect the shoeboxes from the drop off locations and take them to storage for sorting and stacking. 
  5. We then deliver the shoeboxes to each school / organisation when their list has been completely received and checked off. 

We aim to complete all deliveries by the end of November 2024.
