SOME 155 boxes have been pledged for the Santa Shoexbox Project for Toti, since pledges opened on 1 September.
Toti has been tasked with collecting 1,000 boxes to be donated to children in Toti and surrounding areas.
To pledge, register online at www.santashoebox.co.za, pledge a box and pick a convenient drop-off point. Select one recipient or more by name, age and gender, which gives a personal connection.
Decorate and fill your shoebox with new and age-appropriate items. Items needed are toothpaste, toothbrush, bar of soap, wash cloth, an outfit of clothing, educational supplies, sweets and a toy.
Boxes can be dropped off during national drop-off week in the last weekend of October and first weekend of November. The Toti drop-off point is the Toti 1st Scout hall in Drake Road, Toti and the drop-off days are Thursday to Saturday, 23 to 25 October.-
Volunteers are also needed on the days, so if you want give back, call the project’s local co-ordinator, Lisette Muller on 082-411-1666.
