Warmth in a shoebox for kids at Christmas

These piles of shoeboxes aren’t headed for the recycling depot but part of a Christmas activity organized by House of Dreams, which collects shoeboxes from the public and fills them with stationery and warm clothing as Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in the festive season.

Launched by House of Dreams in 2015, the Christmas Visit Project delivers gifts to disadvantaged families during holidays and festivals and has already helped more than 1,500 families. For this year’s event, volunteers from the House of Dreams entered the community and schools to distribute shoebox gifts to kids. Through the Christmas Visit Project, House of Dreams hopes to garner people power and give a helping hand to families going through rough times, ensuring that at least the kids get to enjoy a happy and unforgettable Christmas.

一堆一堆的鞋盒，並不是資源回收，這是夢想之家在今年耶誕節，為了清寒家庭準備的聖誕愛分享活動，透過社會大眾募集家中不需要的鞋盒，裝滿文具或是保暖物品，希望讓孩子們度過一個充滿愛的聖誕佳節。

夢想之家自2015年開始實施的耶誕探訪專案，至今已幫助超過1500個家庭，每個節日都會透過不同的活動，將募資到的物品帶入清寒家庭，而這次募集到的鞋盒禮物，會透過志工們探訪社區與學校分送出去。藉由耶誕探訪活動，夢想之家希望能借助社會大眾的力量，走進社區，幫助清寒家庭度過困境，並且傳遞溫暖，讓孩子們有個難忘的聖誕節。
