Xmas ShoeBox Appeal for the Homeless
I hope this is allowed as VolvoTuning need YOUR Help…THIS IS NOT A MEET
Christmas is a time for celebrations and spending time with family and loved ones BUT for many it’s a time of sadness and isolation. Those less fortunate find themselves homeless and sleeping on the streets, desperate for warmth and vulnerable from the cold, suffering from hunger & health issues and often ignored by society…. this year VT want to help with the: Xmas Shoebox for the Homeless We are kindly asking members if they would like to fill a shoebox with inexpensive items that people who find themselves Homeless would find useful, especially in the cold weather. Items such as: Warm Hat & Gloves Thermal Socks Tooth Brush & Toothpaste Soap & Shampoo Antiseptic Cream Plasters Anti Fungal Talc Powder Lip Balm or Chapstick Cough Sweets / Lozenges/ Fishermans Friends Hairbrush or Comb Facecloth Wet Wipes Sanitary Towels Pen Note Book / Puzzle book or Magazine Small LED torch and Batteries Personal Card with Message or Gift Chocolate, Sweets or Gum PLEASE NO ALCOHOL OR CASH Once people have filled their shoebox, it can be couriered to VT HQ in Sheffield. Couriers such as Hermes are inexpensive and would charge approx £2.75 up to 2kg to deliver within the UK if you use one of your local Hermes Drop Off Points. The address to send your Shoeboxes: VT Homeless Appeal Stanwood Chip Shop 1 Stanwood Avenue Sheffield S6 5HX The deadline for receiving the Shoeboxes is Sunday 11th December, this gives time for the distribution of the gifts to a local Charity in the Sheffield area that helps the homeless and provides invaluable services direct to people in need. By filling a Shoebox you will be making a huge difference to a vulnerable person this Christmas….Just one random act of kindness is all it takes to make a huge difference to a homeless person’s wellbeing at this desperate time of year. On behalf of VolvoTuning, Thank You The Facebook Event page can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/189187674871281/ |

Same here....we also do one for the children's hospital. This year we thought we'd up the scale and take it to the forums...really make a difference to a lot of people. It would be much appreciated if you were able to contribute to our appeal...a very worthy cause. Cheers
