HOW TO PACK YOUR SANTA SHOEBOX

1. An outfit of clothing
Choose an outfit in the child's size. Consider including underwear. 
2.  Toothbrush & toothpaste
Please buy a big tube of toothpaste. 
3.  Facecloth & soap
Please include a big fragrant soap. If you choose a liquid soap, please seal it in a ziplock bag.
4. Educational supplies
Remember you are shopping for the next school year. Think of what will be required for that grade. How about a full stationery set? You can also include an English book to foster the joy of reading.
5. Sweets & toy
What do you enjoy?  A cuddly fluffy toy, doll or car? Seal chocolate in a ziplock bag. Include batteries for toys that require them. 
6. QR coded label
Download your label once you've pledged. It is scanned at drop-off to ensure the box reaches the right child.
7. Decorate your shoebox
Consider paint or stickers rather than paper. It's friendlier to the environment. Why not include a personal note from you to the child?
8. Drop off your shoebox
Please don't be late. Late deliveries may result in the child you've chosen not receiving their box.
