Christmas shoebox appeal 2025

We will be collecting Christmas Shoeboxes as part of the Blythswood appeal.
Shoeboxes are sent to people of different ages in the poorest parts of Eastern Europe. This year shoeboxes will be delivered to vulnerable people in Ukraine, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania and Serbia.

The boxes are filled with a variety of items to bring warmth and cheer to people who have very little. The shoe boxes have a wonderful impact on the lives of their recipients. They help to assure these people that they are remembered, prayed for and loved by the Lord.

Our prayer for those receiving the shoeboxes is that they know God loves them, just as he loves each of us so deeply.

the leaflet showing items needed is attached to this newsitem.

if you can fill a shoebox then please bring it to St Eds by Sunday November 2nd.

Alternatively if you can donate one or more items - these can be left at St Eds and we will make up some shoeboxes (date tbc)
