Purchasing Shoebox Christmas gifts.

🎁 Our Mission

At Shoebox Christmas, our kaupapa (purpose) is simple but important – ensuring every child experiences the joy and excitement of receiving a gift at Christmas. Usually, our amazing community of gifters hand-picks and delivers these presents so our children know we've got their back.

But unfortunately, not every gift makes it to its destination.

🌈 Why We Need Your Help

Last year, it costs thousands of dollars to fill the gap for missing gifts. And this year has been tougher for many. We're expecting even more gaps at the end of the year. That's why we're reaching out now and need your aroha (love) and tautoko (support)!

💚 How Your Donation Makes a Difference

Your donation on this Givealittle page will be used to purchase and deliver gifts on behalf of those who are too busy or unable to reach our drop-off locations. Every dollar you donate is used solely for presents for our tamariki to create smiles, laughter, and cherished memories.

🤝 Our Promise to You

We don't usually take this approach, but these are unusual times, calling for a shared effort. Rest assured, every cent goes directly towards purchasing gifts. We're committed to transparency and will update you on the impact of your donations.

✨ Be Part of the Magic

Join us in turning challenges into opportunities for joy and kindness. Whether you donate $5 or $50, you're making a world of difference. Let's wrap around our children and show them we care!

About us

Shoebox Christmas provides positive experiences in the form of Christmas gifts for children in low socio-economic situations. We also provide Stationery Starter Packs for new college/intermediate starters.

Use of funds

We'll buy presents for the children who's koha haven't been delivered by the community.
