Operation Christmas Child time!

It's that time of year again! Operation Christmas Child! It's collection day at my local Lifeway Christian store. National Collection week starts on November 17th. I love doing these shoe boxes because children get Christmas and get to know about Jesus!

So, what goes into a shoe box?

• soap & washcloth
• toothpaste & toothbrush
• brush
• coloring book & crayons
• pens & pencils
• stuffed animal & small toys
• hard candy
• hat, sunglasses, & shirt
• personal letter
• Socks

What are the ages?

• 2 to 4
• 5 to 9
• 10 to 14

What not to put in a box?

• Chocolate & candy that can melt
• toys that look like weapons/army
• liquids

I hope this list helps and that you'll join in making a great Christmas for a child in need!
