Share The Joy Of Giving

The Santa Shoebox Project’s annual drop-off event in Hermanus is the non-profit organisation’s grand finale of putting Santa’s Workshop into action! From the 1st of September, donors can visit the Santa Shoebox Project’s website and choose children in need living in and around the Overberg for whom to pledge. Then on the 27th and 28th of October Santa’s Elves, in the form of friendly volunteers, will receive this year's shoeboxes containing precious gifts! Santa Shoebox Project will ensure the children experience the joy of opening a present from Father Christmas, just like other little girls and boys do. For many of these children, this gift will be the only one they receive! Gifting options offered by Santa Shoebox Project include one shoebox, multiple shoeboxes, virtual shoeboxes and financial donations.
