Operation Christmas Child

How to pack a shoebox

Find a Shoebox

Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box

and lid separately.

Girl or Boy?

Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.

Fill with Gifts

Select a quality “wow” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed animal. Then add

other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies.

Pray

Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. You can also include a personal

note and photo.

Drop-Off

Take your shoebox gift to a local drop-off location during National Collection Week,

November 14-21. (Bethel Church’s Fergus Falls Campus is our local drop-off location)
