Kia ora e hoa mā (friends),
Do you know a business or organisation committed to doing good in the community?
Since we started our little Shoebox Christmas kaupapa, we've helped over 74,000 tamariki and whānau feel connected and supported by their community across Aotearoa. Mostly as volunteers.
This year, our rangatahi kāhui (collective of young people) and I are looking for awesome businesses to partner with so we can carry on giving that support.
We're looking for sponsorship to help with the costs of our amazing rangatahi leading the kaupapa and project in their regions, as well as the costs of finishing off our new website so Shoebox Christmas can be led from within the communities it makes such a difference to. Scaling to have the impact we're having now takes more than volunteers. Can you help?
If you or your organisation think this is a worthwhile cause and would like to help with financial sponsorship, please reach out to me or
Please help us spread the word by sharing this post or tagging businesses you think might want to lend a hand.
Ngā mihi nui rawa atu, a massive thank you,
Pera & the Shoebox Christmas whānau
PS if you don't know an organisation who can help, but would like to donate as an individual, we have a Givealittle page too, and appreciate every bit of help to keep this kaupapa alive! https://givealittle.co.nz/org/shoebox-christmas
