Santa In A Shoebox is returning for the 16th year! Santa In A Shoebox is a non-profit, completely volunteer coordinated, and is 100% community driven. Santa In A Shoebox wouldn't exist without the willingness, generosity and creativity of our neighbors, local businesses, and organizations. Every shoebox is directly given back to recipients residing in our respective local communities.
FILL A SHOEBOX with NEW items for men, women, children, Veterans, the elderly, etc. There is no minimum value; however, all items must fit in a shoebox and be new. Santa in a Shoebox inspires community involvement within schools, scout groups, churches, workplaces, and other community organizations.
Shoebox filler ideas include: toys, coloring books, crayons, gift cards, socks, gloves, books, treats, and anything to bring a little joy into someone's Christmas season. Donations of filler items are also greatly appreciated! No toy guns please.
