Christmas is just around the corner, and Waihi Shoebox Christmas is once again helping bring a little joy to children in our community who might otherwise miss out on receiving gifts this festive season.

This wonderful local initiative relies on the generosity of our community, and there are plenty of ways you can help!

Donations of new, unwrapped toys, games, books, stationery, sporting goods and other suitable gifts for children are greatly appreciated. Donations of wrapping paper are also welcome, along with cash contributions that will go towards purchasing additional presents.

Families, businesses and community groups are encouraged to get involved – whether it’s donating a single gift or joining together to make a bigger contribution. Every little bit makes a difference!

Want to help? Email waihishoeboxchristmas@gmail.com to arrange a donation or find out more.

You can also follow their Facebook page @waihishoeboxchristmas for updates.

❤️ Let’s come together to help make Christmas a little brighter for local children and families this year!
