Take a shoe box
Decorate in Christmas paper
Add some goodies
and necessities
and pop the lid on....
Operation Christmas Child was started in 1990 by David Cooke. Shoe boxes are decorated and filled, taken to a drop off point, collected and shipped away to places like Albania, Croatia, Romania, Serbia etc. In 2010 1.12 million shoe boxes were taken from the UK alone.
What a wonderful way to give a little extra to children who wouldn't otherwise receive
anything at all.

We've done that - it's a fun way to bring joy to a child. It's amazing what you can fit in a shoe box!
Lovely to see a post from you today!
We filled our shoeboxes at church last month, ready for someone to take them to UK. It's a 'job' I love doing.
It is isn't it...
I like to take part in this, too! It's such a great idea...and fun to put together! ♥
