Hey guys, like talked about last night, Operation Christmas Child is coming up fast and for once I don’t want us to have to try to get it all done at the last minute. This is why I want you to start collecting for it now! We have a large goal of 30 boxes which will give a group reward and an extended goal of 60 boxes which will merit a reward of epic proportions!
The Following are the gidlines for the boxes:
BOY OR GIRL?
Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label by downloading the artwork to the right. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.
FILL WITH GIFTS
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child. Use the gift ideas provided on the bottom of this page.
INCLUDE YOUR DONATION
Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. You can give online by using our EZGIVE option, or you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation.
