About Operation Christmas Child:
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations
around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s
love. This program of Samaritan’s Purse provides an opportunity for
people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project
while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God’s
greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given
Gospel booklets in their own language. In 2003, we collected over 6.6 million
shoe box gifts worldwide and distributed them to children in some 95 countries.
Our club is filling boxes again this year and has been challenged to beat our Rotoract club at Rowan Community College. Vist the Operation Christmas Child website for more information.
How to Pack a Shoe Box
Step-by-step instructions
1. Find an empty shoe box. (You can wrap it—lid separately—if
you would like, but wrapping is not required.)
2. Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or girl and choose an age category: (2-4), (5-9), or (10-14). Attach the appropriate BOY/GIRL LABEL on the TOP of your box and mark the correct age category.
3. Fill your shoe box with a variety of gifts:
Toys: small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, plastic kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, small Etch A Sketch®, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky, etc.
School supplies: pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, coloring books, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, etc.
Hygiene items: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, comb, washcloth, etc.
Other: hard candy, lollipops, mints, gum, sunglasses, flashlights with extra batteries, ball caps, socks, T-shirts, toy jewelry sets, hair clips, watches, small picture books, etc.
