Shoebox Appeal 2012
Please consider supporting the local shoebox appeal organised through
Smile International
this year. It runs from now until mid-November
The shoeboxes are processed locally at the
Chatterteria
café at
86 Middle Market Road, Great Yarmouth
. They are then packed into cartons and sent to Eastern Europe, Asia or Africa. Each box reflects the love and compassion that we in Great Yarmouth have for children living in abject poverty
We would welcome donations of anything big or small. The boxes themselves require items such as:
pencils soap scarves
pens flannels hairbrushes
rubbers toothbrushes combs
stationery toothpaste gloves
tennis balls rulers hats
If you would like to support the appeal please note that shoeboxes need to be delivered to the café between Monday 5
th
November and
Wednesday 14
th
November
between 10am and 4pm
In cases of difficulty, large numbers of shoeboxes or requesting more information, please contact
David Minister on 01493 733153
Volunteers are required in the cafe, for the processing of boxes during the two weeks from Monday 5
th
November to Friday 17

November
The contents of each box must be carefully checked and the box packed according to its boy/girl and targeted age group label. You will be kept busy, but what a rewarding role
If you feel that you can offer the time and energy please contact David on the above number
Let’s get cracking and get packing!
