Our 2024 Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Every year for the last 6 years Jess has collected donations of dog items, fills shoeboxes then wraps them for dogs that reside in shelter over Christmas. With amazing support she manages to gather over 100 shoeboxes each year and divides them between each rescue. She couldn’t do this without your support and that of many businesses including Herrings Shoes who kindly gift all the shoeboxes and stores them safely until Christmas week delivery.
Here’s Jess last year!
What we need...
Dog toys new or used
Dog collars and leads new or used
Dog harnesses new or used
Poo bags
Dog balls new or used
Dog blankets new or used
Dog accessories new or used
Dog food tins or sachets
Dog treats
How you can help...
Buy something from our shop and we will pop what you buy straight in the shoeboxes. Enter our address in the deliver to section at checkout so the delivery charge will not be initiated and we know it’s for the shoeboxes. We have items from as little as 20p! Jess will always acknowledge your donation. Contact Suzi via live chat or our group for the address.
You can send Jess some money to her bank account and she will go and purchase something suitable on your behalf. Jess will always acknowledge your donation and send you a photo of what she buys. Contact Suzi via live chat or our group for the details.
If you live local to us in Kingsbridge, Devon you are welcome to donate new or used dog items to us. If you live in Ivybridge Devon, we have a donation station located there. Contact Suzi via live chat or our group for the address details.
You can send Jess some donations in the post. Jess will always acknowledge receipt of your donation so please make sure you pop a note in to say who it’s from. Contact Suzi via live chat or our group for the address details.
If you are a small business and would like to donate products we will give you a massive shout out across our platforms and a mini linked space on our website below until the next years appeal. Contact Suzi via live chat or our group for the details.
Here’s our progress chart for this year, when the box show a present it means we have filled that many boxes.
