Start with a shoebox of an average-size (30 x 20 x 10 cm) and DECORATE IT with wrapping paper. Alternatively order our preprinted shoebox here: jetzt-mitpacken.de

CHOOSE a „WOW-Gift“ that will astonish a child. Then fill your shoebox with other new items such as school supplies, clothes, candy (expires after March of next year), hygiene items, toys etc.

We encourage you TO PRAY for the child that will receive your shoebox. You can also add a personal note and picture to your gift. CLOSE YOUR GIFT with a rubber band (do not tape it).

Your donation is an investment into a child’s life. To cover all costs we recommend a DONATION OF 10 EUROS per child. You can either give the money at your drop-off location, transfer it or use paypal.me/mitpacken.

TAKE your shoebox to an official drop-off location by November 15th. After a quality check the boxes will be shipped to Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

“Millions of people collect shoeboxes all around the world to share God’s love with children in need. With your shoebox contribution the Good News of Jesus Christ can become a source of hope.”

FRANKLIN GRAHAM President Samaritan’s Purse International

The shoebox you pack will show a child in need that it is loved and precious – to God and people.
