Annual Dominican Republic Holiday Shoebox Drive for Dove Youth Development Center is READY FOR YOU!

The SHBHU Annual Holiday Shoeboxes of Love is READY for your Small Handers and Ambassadors! We now officially have the names and ages of 129 children this year at Dove Youth Development in the Dominican Republic. Message SHBHU at or BELOW if you are interested in decorating, packing writing letters and/or donating any items for the SHOEBOXES of LOVE!

Dove Missions Youth Center in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic serves 160+ Dominican and Haitian children and their families every year who are living in extreme poverty. They provide educational services, school supplies (including uniforms) , extra curricular activities, and food for the student’s families. Each December, SHBHU families provide each child with a shoe box filled with gifts, hygiene items, sweet treats, school supplies and a personal letter labeled especially for each child! You will receive the specific name and age of the child which makes for a personal and loving touch.  This is often the only gift they will receive and puts a huge smile on their face! It truly fills them with hope and love. Will your Ambassadors and Small Handers pack with love and decorate a shoe box or two or three?  Email us at if you can help pack some shoeboxes of love!
