CHRISTMAS SHOE BOXES
GIFTS FOR NEEDY CHILDREN
WELCOME
This site provides information about 20 years of volunteering at various warehouses in Chelmsford, processing Christmas shoeboxes.
People who volunteered were individuals, corporate teams and other groups – all wanting to help make a difference to the lives of thousands of needy children in Eastern Europe and beyond.
Between 1997 and 2016
The Chelmsford team processed and exported over
850,000
Christmas Shoebox Gifts
In 2018, we started supporting the British charity Teams4u.

Shoebox Distributions and other humanitarian projects.
30 years ago in 1990, our founder Dave Cooke left Wrexham for Romania, in a convoy with a group of friends.
Little did anyone in the group know that they were starting the biggest Christmas gift program in the world.
Since that date over 180 million shoeboxes have been distributed by various organisations.
