Bring hope to children worldwide living in poverty through simple, gift-filled shoeboxes. 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 for 2022 online page! With this option, you make it your own by choosing from a list of gifts, then add a personal letter and photo. They pack your shoebox and send it for you for a suggested donation of $25.

If you’d like to pack your own box, shoeboxes, shipping labels, and instructional brochures are available on the patio Sunday mornings or in the Children’s Office, Room 106. Information can also be found at samaritanspurse.org

Gift-filled shoeboxes must be returned to ENCOUNTER no later than Sunday morning, November 20. For questions, contact Gloria
