Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meet the child I have sponsored?
Where possible. This is normally facilitated via one of our Christmas Tree events.
- How much money should I spend on my box of joy?
Please do not spend more than R250 on the contents of a shoebox. Rather 'adopt' another child and spread the love.
- Do you check the contents of the boxes?
Yes, we do. This is why we ask you to close the box with ribbon or string. We will seal the boxes ourselves before they are dispatched. We reserve the right to repack boxes that do not comply with standard size restrictions and will remove items such as marbles, glue, scissors and toy weapons.
- What is a 'generic' box?
The charities that benefit from Shoebox submit their lists in June. These are often transient communities with children moving in and out all the time. Generic boxes are used in instances when a new child arrives just before the drop off. There can be nothing worse than having one child left out. It is also true that sometimes sponsors are unable to meet their commitments. In instances like this, generic boxes are used to make up the shortfall.
- Can I attend a Christmas Tree event?
Yes you can. Details of all Shoebox events are posted on our Facebook fan page. You may be required to complete an indemnity form and provide proof of ID.
- I'd like to donate money to Shoebox. How do I do this?
