A Message from Greystones Shoebox Appeal:
‘The Christmas Shoebox Appeal is moving online!
Unfortunately, due to the effects of the COVID-19 restrictions, it is not possible to send gift-filled shoeboxes from Ireland this year.
Instead Team Hope will be asking schools, families, friends, communities and businesses to #TeamUpForTeamHope by donating gift-filled shoeboxes for children affected by poverty ONLINE.
From September 1st you’ll be able to build your own shoebox online for €20 and get creative with activity sheets, which can be coloured in and uploaded with your donation to tell the child who gets your box a little more about you!
We will need your help to spread the word because this year, more than ever, every shoebox counts’.
More detail here on the ‘Team Hope’ website . Over recent years making up shoeboxes has been a most enjoyable and important Christmas tradition in St. Brigid’s – and the students and their parents have been very generous.
