Islanders donate almost 4,000 shoeboxes to Mustard Seed appeal

Sunday 03 December 2023


This year’s shoebox appeal has received 3,647 boxes filled with presents and essentials to be sent to disadvantaged people in Ukraine and Romania.

The charity has also received £24,284 to fund food and fuel supplies for those in need.

A total of 1,500 shoeboxes were sent to Ukraine this week, and the remaining 2,150 shoeboxes will be shipped to Romania in early December. 

 

The Mustard Seed Jersey Trustees said: “We want to thank the public for their amazing generosity.”

Mustard Seed Jersey, launched in 1998, sends more than 3,000 packages of goods and essentials to countries such as Romania and eastern europe every year. 

It relies on volunteers who work hard to gather resources and gifts that have been donated by islanders.
