In 2007 schools, churches, clubs and thousands of individuals once again donated over 140,000 filled shoeboxes to the Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal.  These gifts brought much joy to the children and adults who received them.  Over the last five years we have distributed over 500,000 boxes.  Please click here to see how many shoeboxes Blythswood has sent since the first Shoe Box Appeal in 1993.  We delivered shoeboxes in Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Hungary, Ukraine and Moldova. We took boxes to India for the second year running; in 2007 a total of 22,631 shoeboxes were distributed in India. To read a report on our Chief Executive’s visit to India in January 2008 please click here . During December, Danny Muschate visited homes, orphanages, projects and schools in Bulgaria, Serbia and Albania to see first hand the distribution of the shoeboxes and also to record the event. A new Shoebox Appeal DVD for 2008 has been released.
