Packing a Christmas Shoebox

It’s time for packing Christmas shoe boxes!  We can’t wait to see how many you will pack this year. Last year 299 were collected.

Please remember they are having issues getting soap through customs, so Samaritans Purse is no longer including soap on their list of allowed items. Stick deodorant is a luxury item in many countries, so for the boxes for older kids (10-14 year olds) it is really appreciated. You can visit the Amazon Storefront for Operation Christmas Child for a list of quality items that are recommended for shoeboxes. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/operationchristmaschild

Our kickoff date is October 12 and our collection date is November 9. So far Westfield has packed over 3,000 boxes since 2009. If you have any questions about this ministry please see Deborah Replogle.
