Christmas In July – Operation Christmas Child

As most of you know, each year we collect small items to pack shoe boxes that are sent to children all over the world thru Operation Christmas Child!  This year, to get things going, we are holding a Christmas in July to start gathering these gifts.  Last year we donated 13 boxes, each containing 18-30 items for girls and boys ages 2-14.

We will pack everything according to age and gender, wrap each box in Charlie Brown wrapping paper, and prepare for “Drop Off” during the week of November 18-25^th.

Other ways to help:

We need shoeboxes!  We use the cardboard or clear plastic kind with lids.  They just need to be standard size so they will fit in the larger shipping box with ease.

Donations for Shipping!

We pay $7.00 to ship each box we send.  If you would like to contribute toward shipping, let us know!
