The Christmas Boxes Solidarity campaign is back in Paris La Défense

Want to bring a little cheer to those in need? The Association du site de La Défense (AsD) is once again organizing its Christmas Boxes for Solidarity collection! Drop yours off at the Paris La Défense Information Center between November 13 and December 28, 2025.

The principle is simple: make a list of items to collect from home, grab a shoebox, and you're all set to give a Christmas package to people who are isolated or in need! To find out exactly what to do, follow the guide!

Winter is coming to Paris La Défense, and with it, a wave of solidarity! Once again this year, the La Défense Site Association is organizing its annual Christmas Box Drive! Participating is easy: grab a shoebox and fill it with a mystery gift! The association recommends including:

• Something tasty and comforting to eat (candy or chocolate);
• Something warm for winter (such as mittens or a hat);
• Something entertaining (such as a book or a deck of cards);
• Something hygienic or a beauty product;
• A nice note or a beautiful drawing.

Put everything in a shoebox and wrap your gift (be sure to separate the lid from the rest of the box), add a list of what it contains, and drop it off at the Espace Info in Paris La Défense!

The idea behind this initiative is not to break the bank, but to offer something sweet, simple, and comforting to those who need it most. Your packages are delivered by volunteers to people in precarious or isolated situations during the holiday season. In 2024, the La Défense Site Association distributed more than 200 boxes to people in extremely precarious situations in the Hauts-de-Seine Emergency Accommodation Centers.
