The biggest Christmas gift drive for children in need — Shoebox Appeal
Join us for the 15th annual Shoebox Christmas Gift Drive, organised by the
Diaconia of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren under the patronage of
First Lady Mrs. Eva Pavlová. You can take part right here in our DOCK campus in
Libeň from 26 November to 8 December 2025.
How can you support children in need?
Join the donors who together bring joy to almost 65,000 children. Choose and prepare a gift, attach a label with the selected category (e.g. boy, 13 years), and bring it under the Christmas tree at the selected DOCK reception located at the DOCK 02, 03A, 03B, 04A, 05A, and 05B receptions.
You will find a QR code by the Christmas tree – after scanning it, fill out a short form describing the gift you’re donating. This helps the organizers deliver your package to the most suitable recipient.
Please bring your gift box no later than Monday, 8 December. We will then hand it over to the organizers, who will ensure it reaches the intended children.
If you would like to support disadvantaged children even without preparing a box, you can make a financial contribution on the collection’s website.
Tips for preparing your gift
- Girls and boys aged 12+ receive the fewest gifts. We’ll be grateful if you keep them in mind when choosing your present.
- Imagine that this might be the only Christmas gift a child receives. Please choose new and good-quality items suitable for the age category you selected.
- Don’t forget to attach a label with the selected category to your gift. Before placing it under the tree, please register it using the QR code available at the tree.
- More recommendations and gift ideas can be found on the collection’s website.
Thank you for your kindness and for helping those in need.
