Our decorative shoe boxes are all gone but any standard size shoebox or 6 quart plastic shoebox will do. Information and suggested gifts for the boxes are available on the table in the hallway. Please remember to include $7 with each shoe box to help with the shipping and other expenses.
Filled shoe boxes and the $7 per shoe box need to be dropped off at the church by Wednesday, November 16th so we can get them to the drop off point on time. More information about Operation Christmas Child can be found at www.samaritanspurse.org
