Fill your box for a BOY or GIRL – (No age groups this year). Be sure to make it personal and fun!

Return your box by November 2nd – Each box requires a $10 shipping donation.

✨ Optional Add-Ons

Donate items as “fillers” to help pack additional boxes at the Operations Center.

Prefer online? You can build a shoebox through the Samaritan’s Purse website for $36 (includes shipping).

💡 Reminder: The key is to make the boxes FUN, PERSONAL, and FILLED WITH LOVE. Every box is a chance to share Christ’s joy with a child across the world.
