Shoe Box Packing Party for OCC

The Shoe Box Packing Party for Operations Christmas Child was a huge success!

19 people contributed to this event with 14 people attending to help pack boxes.  We packed a total of 55 shoe boxes for girls and boys of all ages with items including toys, games, playing cards, stuffed animals, school supplies, toiletries, t-shirts, flip-flops, baseball caps and candy, along with personal cards with best wishes from us.  We also have stuff for about 6 or 7 more boxes.

So many of you brought items, made trips to the store, hauled loads back and forth, scrounged inventory, prepped and sorted, wrote notes, contributed money, helped wrap, pack and clean up.  I am truly grateful for all of your help.

Thanks to all of you, over 60 needy children living in poverty will receive a box with items that will put a smile on their face, clothes on their backs, shoes on their feet, and will also warm the hearts of their parents who long to give them more then they have.

AND we had fun doing it!
Congratulations on this accomplishment!
