Do you have a shoebox you want to get rid of? Supplies, toys or hygiene products that you want to give to a child in need? Our Management 300 group is partnering with Operation Christmas Child to bless children across the globe.

Samaritan’s Purse collects shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 198 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.

The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.

Our group is looking for the following:

• Empty shoeboxes
• Hygiene products
• Small toys
• Travel-sized supplies
• School supplies, etc.

We are also looking for volunteers to help pack these shoe boxes! If you would rather give your time instead of supplies, we would love for you to join us in packing these shoeboxes on Friday, Dec. 2.

Please fill out this form if you would like to donate or volunteer!

Thank You!
