Sheffield Wednesday FC Community Programme is proud to once again support the Sheffield Shoebox Appeal, helping to bring a little extra joy to young adults and vulnerable people across Sheffield this Christmas.
While many people have access to everyday essentials such as toiletries, food and clothing, the small luxuries that make Christmas special can often be out of reach. The Shoebox Appeal helps to change that, bringing together thoughtful gifts and festive treats to make a difference to those who may otherwise go without.
Staff and students from across the Community Programme are getting involved, encouraging supporters and the wider community to take part by putting together their own shoebox filled with gifts.
Shoebox Collection Details
Ahead of Sheffield Wednesday's home fixture against Reading F.C. on Saturday, 28th November, staff and students from SWFCCP will be collecting shoeboxes from supporters between 10am and 12:15pm.
The main drop-off point will be outside the Education Hub, next to the Owls Megastore. SWFCCP College students will also be positioned around the stadium to help direct supporters to the collection point.
Every shoebox, no matter how big or small, can help make a difference and bring a smile to someone's face this Christmas.
