One Christmas shoebox at a time

Run by a Cambridge based whanau, we believe that every child deserves something to look forward to at Christmas. Waikato Shoebox Christmas brings local people together with the aim of giving some Christmas cheer to children in our local community - one shoebox at a time!

To many, a shoebox doesn't seem much, but filled with gifts hand picked for them, to call their own can make the world of difference to many Kiwi kids.
