Do you know what Operation Christmas Child is?

Every year, millions of shoe boxes filled with basic things (pencils, paper, soap, toothbrushes, etc.) are sent throughout the world to children.





I got involved a few years ago and got totally addicted! Collecting items all year is so fun, coming up with unique and useful things to send the children.





If you%26#039;ve never heard of this, or have and want more information, please do yourself (and a needy child) a favor, log on to Samaritans Purse%26#039;s website; www.samaritanspurse.org today and check it out!





Make a child%26#039;s day...





Collection begins November 12th and ends November 19th.

Reply:thanx for the reminder, we rec%26#039;d info at church back in Sept, let it slip my mind!


such a great way to remind our kids of the true meaning of the season while not emptying our wallets in the process.


We%26#039;ve done it in the past, I take the kids to the store and for the most part let them pick out the items and we double check that all choices are acceptable from the list and purchase............


I have been surprised that the kids were both surprised at how much can fit into the boxes (we usually buy the %26#039;plastic%26#039; show boxes with the attached lids) and we are always surprised at what we spend. Makes them realize their list should short and prioritized.......
Reply:I do this every year with my church :)


And I always do the older kids because people forget about them.
