Help a Kiwi Kid feel like a Champion this Christmas
The Catalytic Foundation is calling on Kiwis to participate in the annual Christmas Shoebox Project which provides a respite for families living in hardship across Aotearoa and bringing with it a touch of magic for the holiday season. The Christmas boxes filled with toys, activities, school supplies, clothing and personal essentials. Then, they’re delivered to nominated children facing hardship through the Catalytic Foundation’s charity partners across Aotearoa New Zealand.
This year, with the brilliant support from the New Zealand Team from Olympic and Commonwealth Games past and PlaceMakers branches around the country, we are asking people to donate new sports gear to add to a child's Christmas box.
“Soccer balls, basketballs, skateboards, cricket sets etc - these are the kinds of items children are wanting when we ask them about their hobbies and interests. These are the specific things they have lost through family violence – so please consider a donation and know you’ll be transforming lives” Kerryn Thrupp, Woven Earth
Please consider donating new sports equipment to one of the participating PlaceMakers branches below.
