83 Ideas For Packing Your Shoebox – Hanover Missionary Church

With the early snowfall it’s hard not to hear the distant jingle of a Christmas bell. We live in a society of privilege and even now may already be storing away gifts to give our family and friends come that jolly day in December. So often we take our blessings for granted and forget that much of the world is struggling just to survive. Operation Christmas Child makes it their mission to see that we don’t forget – that we take a step back from our selfish natures and think of someone else. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in the life of a child who isn’t so lucky as our own children.

The boxes arrived this week and we are encouraging you to take up the challenge. Stuff a shoebox full with little joys that will bring hope to a child in a desperate situation. And to help you face this challenge with confidence we’ve pulled together a list of 83 ideas to get you on your way.
