In the next few weeks, children in Ukraine, the Philippines, Central America, and western Africa will be receiving shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and other items packed by Canadians
With all the challenges arising from inflation and shortages, Canadians packed as many as 415,072 shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and other items that will be sent to children in Ukraine, the Philippines, Central America, and western Africa within the next few weeks. Last year's number of packed shoeboxes marks an increase of more than 1,000 shoebox gifts over 2021’s total.
The 415,072 boxes donated in 2022—including tens of thousands of boxes packed online at PackaBox.ca—were part of a worldwide total of nearly 10.6 million collected in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Finland, South Korea, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand. Many children who receive shoebox gifts will also enroll in Operation Christmas Child’s 12‑lesson discipleship program, The Greatest Journey. This voluntary program teaches children about the Christian faith. Since 2009, more than 26 million children have participated in the program. Every child who graduates is given a New Testament in their language.
