Now that I'm back at it, we are in need of A LOT! We are only 1/3 of the way to the goal of 365 boxes....which means we are way behind in packing!
How can you help?
Sponsor a Box
-Be a Half Box Sponsor: $7 will go to either shipping of one box or the purchasing of filler items for one box.
-Be a Box Sponsor: $15 sponsors one full box-it covers the shipping cost and also purchases supplies for one box.
Collect and Donate Supplies
Have your family, friend, youth group or Bible study group collect supplies! I will include a list of needed supplies at the bottom of this post. This is a great way to get involved and help those in need! I can even come to your youth group, etc. to share a little bit about Operation Christmas Child/Samaritan's Purse and why I decided to pack so many boxes!
Thank you to Kimberly T and Diana G for their donations of supplies, as well as everyone else! It couldn't be done with out your help!
