Start with a shoebox about the size of an A4 piece of paper. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately.

If you can’t find a shoebox this size, order a pre-printed shoebox.

Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14.

Select a medium to large “wow” item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, hygiene items and school supplies.

Or download and print our list of suggested gifts.

Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. You can also include a personal note and photo.

To make sure your shoebox gift gets to a child of the right gender and age, order a label for each of your shoeboxes here. You also have the option to Follow Your Box and discover the destination of your shoebox gifts.
Labels offer a way for you to give the necessary $10 donation per shoebox to provide for collection, processing, shipping, and other project costs.

If you prefer to download and print basic labels, remember to include in your box the $10 donation per shoebox gift.
