Shoebox Appeal

The shoebox appeal is run by the Foundation every December, collecting new essential items and toys to be distributed to families in need. Local organisations we support include; The Good Shepherd, the Women & Families Resource Centre, the Haven and Strengthening Families Hubs.

Gifts are distributed for children from birth up to the age of 16, with supporters asked to label their box for either a boy or girl and mark the age range. Donators are encouraged not to include second hand gifts, used or damaged items, anything sharp or fragile or CDs and DVDs.

Since December 2023, over 1500 gifts have been donated to children and families across the city thanks to generous donations from Wolves fans, the public and with support from local businesses.

For 2025, we are asking all donations to be dropped off at Molineux Stadium (WV1 4QR) by the 17^{th of} December.

For more information on where to go, please contact ollielocker@wolves.co.uk
