Don’t have time to shop but want to send one or more shoeboxes to help spread the message of Jesus’ gift of salvation to children around the world?
BUILD ONE (OR MORE) ON-LINE!
Build A Shoebox Online (samaritanspurse.org)
You get to pick the sex and age of the child you want to receive your shoebox and then select a “Wow” item; school/hygiene items; and 3 toys to send to a child!
The $25 cost for the shoebox includes the processing fee ($9.00.) The processing fee helps: “After shoebox gifts are dropped off at nearly 5,000 locations around the United States each year in November, trucks transport the precious cargo to eight different processing centers. Eight processing center warehouses around the country are secured so that thousands of volunteers can inspect the shoebox gifts and prepare them for international shipment. Ships, trucks, and airplanes transport millions of shoeboxes to the 100+ countries where they will be distributed. Once there, local churches use many modes of transportation to get them to children in need as a tangible expression of God’s love. Your $9 donation to Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, helps us train and equip local churches to use our Ministry Partner Guide. This resource shows churches how to share the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ in a child-friendly way. Your donation also provides The Greatest Gift Gospel Booklets, which are written in the children’s language and distributed along with shoebox gifts.” (from the OCC website)
