Christmas Shoebox Appeal Offaly

Aubren Ltd are proud to support their employees in fundraising and sustainability driven initiatives that make a difference.

Last year their employees collected and returned bottles and cans through the Deposit Return scheme to raise funds for Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal Offaly. Aubren Ltd then matched the amount raised, bringing the grand total to €240.

Well that’s a wrap on the 2025 Offaly Christmas Shoebox Appeal with 3,596 shoeboxes heading to Albania 🎁🎁

A sincere thank you to each and every child and adult who donated a shoebox, the playschools, schools and shops who acted as collection points, the many volunteers who collected, checked and crated the shoeboxes as well as the people who made donations to buy shoebox fillers and those who supplied exquisite shoebox fillers, many of which were skilfully hand crafted.

Finally, a huge thank you to Ravenhill Warehousing and Logistics who provided a clean and warm space for the volunteers to work in for the second year. Stephen, Paul and their staff were, as usual, most helpful and supportive of us and we all appreciated it.

Until next year, a very happy and peaceful Christmas to you all🎁

🌟“It’s the first new toy I’ve ever had” 🌟
Marilena from Romania is 8 and her family struggles to even heat their one room home in the winter.
Marilena was so excited to get gel pens in her Christmas Shoebox as she had seen them before but when she saw the doll inside she whispered in awe “It’s the first new toy I’ve ever had“. ❤️🥰
