“Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.”

The Santa Shoebox Project is an initiative of the Kidz2Kidz Trust. The Santa Shoebox Project originated in Cape Town and has grown in leaps and bounds, with the number of Santa Shoeboxes growing from a humble 180 boxes in 2006 to an astounding 109 930 in 2014. The boxes are distributed to more than 1000 recipient facilities.

This year the directors of Schnetler’s vowed to match the number of boxes pledged by the firm’s team. In total, 36 boxes were pledged by us at Schnetler’s. The boxes consisted of educational supplies, toiletries, toys, clothing and the most important item to every child out there – sweets! The boxes were creatively painted and decorated to match the Christmas theme.

We are proud to be part of this fantastic initiative. We truly hope that our spirit of giving is infectious and that all of you give back to your community over the festive season.

Schnetler’s supported Casual Day on Friday, 04 September by purchasing Casual Day stickers and dressing up according to the theme “Spring into Action”.

The aim of Casual Day is to raise funds as well as awareness of persons with disabilities.We decided to combine Casual Day with Heritage Day and held a braai for the firm on the balcony of our kitchen in the afternoon. Much fun was had by all!

The next charity project that Schnetler’s will be taking part in, in October is the “Santa Shoebox Project”. We hope that you too support this worthy cause and pledge your own box in order to realise this charity’s goal of having 100 000 boxes pledged. This can be done online at www.santashoebox.co.za.
