What is the purpose of the donated shoebox?
Shoeboxes provide hope for young people around the world. They show children that they are thought about and positively regarded by people they do not even know. Receiving a shoebox stuffed full of fun and useful items creates a special memory that a child can hold onto when life is challenging.
What goes in a shoebox?
For children in need around the world, a shoebox is a message of love. Depending on the organization funding the boxes, it might include religious information, as well as small gifts and necessities. HDI wholesale offers an impressive selection of products that will both empower and delight the box's recipient.
SOMETHING FUN—always include a small toy that does not require batteries. This could be a doll, ball and pump, bead set, fidget toy, or crank flashlight.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES—children feel ready to learn with a fresh box of pencils, a small notebook, new colored pencils or crayons. Add a coloring book or sketch pad so the school supplies can double as an additional source of fun!
PERSONAL CARE ITEMS—a new toothbrush, solid deodorant, lip balm, socks, underwear, a comb/brush, or sandals are all exciting for a child to receive in their box.
PERSONAL NOTE—Let your recipient know you care with a short note or picture.
Bulk Quantities, Big Impact.
Our products are sold in case-packed quantities, shipped directly to your door, and clearly labeled for easy sorting by age and gender. Whether it’s fun toys, school supplies, or personal care items, you can confidently build shoeboxes that meet real needs—faster and more affordably than shopping retail.
