The Lake Aid Volunteers are organising their traditional Christmas boxes collections for children in need in the annecy area.

Every year we look forward to meeting you in November and early December to pick up your beautiful boxes.


We then add a decorated label personalised for each child and deliver to the families and centres before the school holidays.

How to take part?

  1. Register online here
  2. Buy small gifts -spend 25 to 30 euros and only offer new items – nothing second-hand
  3. Put everything in a box (eg. show box), wrap it, write boy/girl + age and drop it off in one of our collection points from 1st to 12th December 2026

OR give 30 euros towards a gift voucher for a teen – here
