Christmas Shoebox Gifts

What is a Shoebox Gift

Each shoebox is an opportunity to remind a child that they are remembered, they are loved, and that God has given us the greatest gift of all—His Son, Jesus Christ.


For a child with very little, receiving a Christmas gift can be unforgettable. The excitement of opening a shoebox filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other useful gifts brings smiles, joy, and the assurance that someone cares.


This Christmas, Bread of Life hopes to prepare and distribute 3,000 Christmas shoeboxes to children in Romania and Ukraine.

Two Ways To Help

GIVE ONLINE

The simplest, most economical way to participate is to donate online. Our staff will purchase gifts locally, assemble the shoebox gifts, and distribute them to children in need.

More Than a Gift

Our prayer is that each child who receives a shoebox will experience not only the joy of Christmas but also the love of Christ and the hope found in Him. Together, we can share the joy of an unexpected gift—and the good news of Jesus, the greatest gift of all.
