OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Simple, gift-filled shoeboxes bring hope to children worldwide living in poverty!
You and your family can have a positive impact on another child’s life by packing your own box with small toys and other gifts OR have Samaritan’s Purse pack it for you through ENCOUNTER’s Shoebox Challenge online page! With this option, you make it your own by choosing from a list of gifts, then add a personal letter and photo. For $25, they pack your shoebox and send it for you. The suggested donation for shipping is an additional $10/box.
If you’d like to pack your own box, then come to the table on the patio during weekend services to pick up all the supplies you need to get started: shoeboxes, shipping labels, and instructional brochures. Information can also be found at samaritanspurse.org. Gift-filled shoeboxes are due back at ENCOUNTER no later than Sunday, November 24 by 12 pm. Questions, contact Gloria, 805-901-0160.
