What will you be bringing?
We will also be packing our Operation Christmas Child (OCC) boxes this Friday night. Please bring your items to pack. Chrisha has about 10 shoe boxes she will be bringing to use for packing. If you have more please bring them. They do not have to be OCC specific. Any shoe box is fine. Below is the information on packing a shoe box.
Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container.
You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required. Most
importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.
Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age
category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label by
downloading the artwork to the right. Mark the correct age category on the
label, and tape the label to the top of your box.
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child. Use
the gift ideas provided below.
Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover
shipping and other project costs. You can give online by using our “Follow
Your Box Donation” option, or you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse
(note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items
inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoe box,
please make one combined donation.
Place a rubber band around each closed shoe box and Chrisha will drop them off during OCC collection week, November 12-19, 2012.
