2020 christmas shoebox appeal
|
TEECH are still working towards a Christmas trip to travel to Romania and Moldova. A small team will travel to hand deliver food parcels and shoebox gifts. Logistics and the pandemic are still being worked through, but Humanitarian Aid can travel, so it should all be possible.
TEECH have now purchased a lorry for the charity, so fundraising will be key for fuel costs, insurance, road tolls etc for each trip. A huge thank you goes to those who funded the purchase. Shoeboxes Thank you to all those who have already completed shoeboxes and sent them to us. If you are planning on doing boxes and have not yet been in touch, please do. If everyone can aim to have their boxes done by the end of November, then we can get them from you when lockdown comes to an end at the start of December. Please plan how you will get boxes to us at that time. We have lists of the children at the schools we will be visiting, therefore we can allocate gender and age of the boxes we require, this way we can ensure the charity has enough for the schools we aim to reach. |

To find ideas of items to place into boxes, then see our shoebox page.
We have a fundraising page set up for the Christmas trip, with the aim to raise funds to cover some of the transport costs. Please also use this page to put your shoebox £1 per box donations on:

Throughout 2020 TEECH has continued to received clothing donations, with sorting and boxing occurring in gardens and garages. Of the clothing received, a lot is ladies, with mens, boys and girls all considerably less, therefore please consider donating clothing for children once we get into 2021, ready for next summer. If you have clothing to donate, then get in touch and we can work out a way to pass it through to us in Essex.
Currently looking for girls clothing 9-11 years for the Christmas trip. Thanks.
