Operation Christmas Child
Get a medium-sized shoebox (ladies size 8) or a 6 qt. plastic shoebox and fill it with school supplies, toys, games, fun things that a child 2 to 14 would enjoy.
Drop off your filled box to Zion Church 2445 E 24th Street between November 16th and 23rd.
Or, if you don't like to shop, you can build a box online. Go to samaritanspurse.org and go down to build a box online. It's super simple. And the best part is that those boxes go to hard to reach areas or sensitive countries.
