Runnymede United Outreach - Christmas Shoeboxes

Date for Bringing to the Church – November 30, 2025

Runnymede is supporting Unison Health and Community Services, located at Rogers Road and Keele Street just north of our church again this year. This agency supports moms, babies, families, adults and seniors with many programs including pre– and post natal classes, employment counselling and settlement advice. They are very happy to continue our connection through our shoebox donations. Boxes can be filled for moms, babies (try to be generic), and children ages 1-12.

It is time to begin to prepare your boxes! Please bring the wrapped filled boxes (lids wrapped separate from the bottoms) to the church for White Gift Sunday on November 30th at 10:30 a.m. or leave in the church office during the week of November 23rd, 2025

Choose to fill a Christmas box for one (or more) of the following: ·

  • Baby Girl or Baby Boy

  • Girl 1-3 years, 4-8 years, 9-12 years

  • Boy 1-3 years, 4-8 years, 9-12 years

  • Mother/Woman

  • Father/Man

Please see this document for more information on Christmas Shoeboxes, including ideas and labels.

If you cannot fill a shoebox but wish to support this project, please consider making a donation towards a gift card by doing an e-transfer to treasurer@runnymedeunited.org

Gift cards at $25 value will be handed out to families for purchases such as larger winter items like boots or coats, food or medicines. Thank you.
