Team Hope is calling on schools, families, communities and businesses across Mayo to help turn just another day in a child’s life into something special. People are being asked to wrap an old shoebox with Christmas paper, fill with gifts for a child, attach €4 and bring it to any of the 300 drop off points across the country before November 11.
The Mayo drop off points are: AXA Insurance, Dillon Terrace, Ballina, and Togher Tyres, Breaffy Road, Castlebar.
Team Hope is aiming to deliver 200,000 shoeboxes from the island of Ireland into the hands of needy children in Africa, the former Soviet Union, and eastern Europe, whose families typically live on less than €1 per day.
