Basically, you choose an age group and a gender. Then fill a standard size shoe box with goodies for that child. Wrap the box (if you choose) and put a printable label on it (available on the website). Take the box, along with $7 to cover shipping, to one of the designated drop-off locations. Don't know where to find a local drop-off location? Just enter your zip code on the website and it will give you a list of locations near you.
Let's all bring a little joy and hope to some children living in desperate situations all around the world through the simple gift of a shoe box. This is the perfect opportunity to teach your children and grandchildren about the blessings of giving to those less fortunate. I'm going to have both of my girls each fill a shoe box for a little girl their age and donate it this year. Don't delay though...National Collection Week is November 17-24.

We do this at church. Tyler's SS Class collected items. He took 1 item for two Sundays. I filled a box for a girl age 5-9. It is a lot of fun buying toys etc. while you imagine the child that will receive your box. I agree it is an excellent way to teach our children and grandchildren about giving and sharing with other.
