This holiday season, we aim to assist them once more, by organizing the 19th Annual Shoebox Campaign for the Elderly. The boxes will be delivered by the Castelo de Sonhos team.

Here’s how to do it – Fill your shoebox with a variety of gifts.

Here are some ideas – toiletries, nail clipper, shower cap, facecloth, sewing kit, warm socks, scarf, biscuits, canned goods, a flashlight, warm gloves, a hot water bottle, chocolates, jam or preserves. Do check that all edibles have a reasonable expiry date.

The cut-off date for receiving boxes is Friday 15th December.
