A project of Samaritan’s Purse that provides God’s love in a physical way to children in need around the world by packing shoeboxes in order to share the Good News of Jesus Christ!
Ms. Anderson, a year-round volunteer for Operation Christmas Child (OCC), was at chapel on October 1, 2021 and explained to the students about the shoeboxes.
Please consider packing a shoebox. Go to the office to get a red/green shoebox and a “What Goes in My Shoebox?” packet to help you in packing your shoebox. You will also get a “Follow Your Box” adhesive label to put on your shoebox and a paper for writing a note to enclose in your shoebox.
You can also use your own shoebox, but go to the office to get a packet, a label, and paper for a note if you do.
Donate $9 to cover collecting, shipping, and processing of the shoebox, as well as the ministry partner training and materials in the country to which the shoebox will go. You can put an envelope with $9 inside of the shoebox, or use the adhesive label, or get online and purchase a shipping label to adhere to the top of your shoebox.
Be sure there is an indication on the top of your shoebox as to the gender and the age group for whom it is intended: boy or girl/ 2-4 years, 5-9 years, or 10-14 years.
Take your finished shoebox to the school office anytime between now and Nov. 22;
Ms. Anderson will pick it up and take it to the shoebox drop-off location.
They need to be in to the office no later than November 22, 2021.
Thank you so much for your help in getting the Gospel out to children all of over the world. OCC’s goal in 2021 is to reach 9,700,000 new children in more than 100 countries. That sounds like a lot, which it is, but there are more than 2,200,000,000 children in the world today!! We have a lot of work to do for the Lord!
Thanks for your help!!
