Please join us for our
5th annual Shoe Box packing party!
Enjoy dinner and an evening with friends, packing Shoe Boxes for
Operation Christmas Child.
Wednesday, Nov 19, 6:30 PM at Mona's house.
You may bring items for packing, but you don’t have to bring anything - just come help pack and have fun!
Try shopping at thrift stores and dollar stores, or just clean out your cupboards. Remember everything has to be small enough to fit in a shoe box:
- Toys: Include items that children will immediately embrace such as dolls, toy cars, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, balls, toys that light up and make noise (with extra batteries), etc.
- School Supplies: pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons, markers, notebooks, paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.
- Non-Liquid Hygiene Items: toothbrushes, bar soap, combs, washcloths, etc.
- Accessories: t-shirts, socks, hats, sunglasses, hair clips, jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries), etc.
- A Personal Note: You may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family. If you include your name and address, the child may be able to write back.
- Do Not Include: Used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives or military figures; chocolate or food; out-of-date candy; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to needy children around the world.
