Successful Shoebox Appeal at Cistercian College

Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty.

Often these shoeboxes are the only gift a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is truly life-changing.

Staff and students at Cistercian College, Roscrea would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the local businesses for their generous donations and joining them in changing the lives of 222 children this Christmas. Thank you to the shoe shops in Nenagh for kindly donating over 200 boxes; a special thank you to Solemates, The Shoe Shop, Slatterys, Melissa K and a very special thank you to Susan in The Shoe Corner for her time, her kindness and generosity.
