SHOEBOX

APPEAL

We would like to thank everyone involved, in any way, with the
Church’s Blythswood Shoebox collection for 2025.

Donations have been very generous from members and friends,
including Emmanuel Baptist Church.

The local knitting group, Nutty Knitters, have been extremely busy,
kindly providing hats, gloves, and scarves. Other help with knitting,
sewing, wrapping, sorting, and packing has been very willingly
given.

Boxes have been saved for us by Surprise ‘N’ Store, for which we
are very grateful.

It was good to have the boxes in church for a blessing on Sunday
th
rd
26 October, before collection on 3 November. There were 118
boxes, plus two large boxes of additional knitted items.

Thank you. Ann and Jim

Over 85,000
shoeboxes to
eight different
countries –
Albania, Bulgaria,
Hungary, Kosovo,
Moldova,
Romania,
Serbia and
Ukraine
in 2024
