What are Shoeboxes of Joy? Shoeboxes of Joy is a holiday project for individuals and household members to provide brightly decorated shoeboxes containing holiday gifts to be delivered to isolated adults throughout King County.
Who do you give the boxes to? Boxes are given to low-income older adults and adults with disabilities receiving services through Catholic Community Services.
What should I put in the box? Many of those receiving the gift boxes live alone with no family or friends nearby and may not receive any other gift, so we encourage participants to thoughtfully fill a wrapped shoebox with a variety of useful items, as well as fun and specialty items.
