Wimborne Rotary club packs shoeboxes bound for Eastern Europe

Members of the club, together with family and friends, have been busy packing gifts into shoeboxes in support of the Wessex Rotary Shoebox Scheme. In total, their efforts have resulted in 75 boxes being delivered to the project.

Each box is carefully packed with gifts suitable for boys or girls and selected by age group.

This year, the filling and delivery of the shoeboxes was co-ordinated by Rotarian Dave Sumner, who said: “As always, people have been very generous in donating gifts and their time to prepare the full shoeboxes. From video feedback which we have seen, it is clear that the gifts are enthusiastically and gratefully received by the children and we are always keen to support this project because of that.”
