Get Involved


There are a number of ways that you can get involved:

  1. Build a box
  2. Donate box contents
  3. Volunteer to build boxes

Build a Box

  1. Sign up to donate your boxes
  2. Find a shoebox or a box approximately shoebox sized
  3. Bring wrapping paper, stickers and anything else you’d like to decorate the outside of your box. The more creative, the better.
  4. Buy the contents of your box
  5. Make your box at home and come and drop it off at one of our collection points

Please wrap the box and the lid separately!

Donate Box Contents

If you aren’t able to build your own box or you don’t live nearby a collection point, you can take a look at our Amazon Wish List and send us box contents. We’ll then decorate and pack what you send and make sure that it gets to its recipient.

Volunteer to Build a Box

We’re always happy to have volunteers to help us pack, decorate or wrap boxes. If you have time, sign up for one of our box building sessions in late November or early December. (Signups will be released in mid October each year)

Box Contents

  • A toothbrush
  • Toothpaste
  • A beanie (warm hat)
